2689 - Bromeliads (Wild) - 2009-07-10 (Dimension: 1530 x 2050 pixels - Counter: 15522) Guzmania gloriosa Locality: COLOMBIA - CUNDINAMARCA - CHOCONTA - (SISGA DAM ) Photographer: IGNACIO MORENO Note: Collected in the wild at a high altitude cloud forest in my ranch near BOGOTA ( 60 KM North at 2800m) The original one was growing on a tree but I adapted them to grow on the soil and they grow more vigorous with over 5 pups each time they bloom and lthey last with full orange leaf tips for over six months One of the most beautiful Guzmanias I have ever seen in any of the many countries I have visited. Their name is very appropiate as they are simply "GLORIOUS" and I love them more every day I look at them...!! (Sent: brom-l@nic.surfnet.nl) (Click on the picture to enlarge) |
