Pink bromeliad
I love this kind of bromeliad flower. My mom used to live in South Florida (today she would have been 96 years old!) and she grew them in her yard. This pretty specimen was grown by the Volunteer Park Conservatory in Seattle, and it was blooming in May. Since this is one of the flowers in my book about the flowers there, I know the name is Silver Vase Bromeliad, Aechmea fasciata.
Visit Macro Monday, Today’s Flowers, Floral Friday, Weekend Flowers, Wordless Wednesday and Pink Saturday. You might try an odd search like “spiky” or a tag like Volunteer Park Conservatory on the right to see some new photos here. Thank you for stopping by.
Oh, Sara. You can’t know how much this made me smile. I spent most of my like in South Florida, and we had bromeliads just like this growing near our swimming pool. They are wonderful.
Happy Pink Saturday, my friend.
What a beautiful bromeliad. I love the color! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful! I’ve never seen this before. Thanks for sharing.

Bromeliad’s are so exotic looking. I love this one with it’s tinges of lavender.
Gorgeous! Lovely colours and interesting shape.
Some years ago I have such a flower in my home. I loved it. Beautiful photo.
