Bromeliad Quesnelia marmorata (Quesnelia marmorata)
This rare and unusual
bromeliad has upright, tubular silver-green spotted foliage that curls
at the terminal end of each leaf. In
spring and summer, a purple and
pink inflorescence arises from the
central cup of the foliage. Because
of its upright form, Quesnelia is
often used alone, or in combination
with other tropicals, to create
a dramatic vertical plant display.
It forms young plants, or pups,
around the mother plant. These
can be transplanted into other pots
for your garden, or given as gifts to
friends and family.
