Aechmea 'Fascicaulis' (fasciata x nudicaulis) - BRBS
Meeting (200802)
|
Growing under palms with lots of early morning sun.
|
Inflorescense slowly rises above the upright rosette.
|
Stigma is extended inside the grey petals and is easy to cross pollinate.
|
Notes:
This is a very weak selfer. You will often find 1 or 2 seeds in a pod. I've crossed
it many times and I always get 1 or 2 seeds, the same as I get when I don't cross.
However, I did once find a seed pod at the top that I didn't cross that was full
of seeds. This has an extended stigma that is easy to cross with, but probably makes
it hard to self without a pollinator.
This is a good tree hugger and will almost take full sun.
