Acanthostachys strobilacea Size:4.5-inch Pot Marginal spines are large andThis has to be one of the strangest of the bromeliads. Its leaves are long and round in cross section and deeply channeled, hanging in cascades. A clumping plant, it makes a good hanging basket specimen. The inflorescence is a small cone of yellow orange borne on a long, leaf like stem. Widely distributed as an epiphyte in the Atlantic Forest and beyond, from Eastern Brazil to Argentina and Paraguay. A true oddity and a delight to grow.
