My picture does not really do it justice The center is turning a beautiful lime green, and yes it is starting to come into flower.
I will post a pic when flower spike is fully developed; it does not appear to look like the other pic posted here

here is a pic of what was given to me as an A glaziouana

Hi grcrabman & Craig
Hope you have success, please let me know how it goes
Craig I have forwarded an email with pics to you.
I am unable to post pics here so if you could do it for me, would be greatly appreciated.

Hi gcrcrabman Am happy to :) . By tea tree I ment paperbark - dosent matter what species, its the papery type bark I find is good. I cut it into strips about 1/2 an inch wide and lay them on end in a plastic take away container. I pack them in so that bottom of the container is covered. The idea is ...

Has it been exposed to any chemicals? Acetelyne gas to induce flowering?
Does not look like a hybrid (to my untrained eyes anyway) but somthing caused that

Hi chanin,
I am always happy to trade seeds. I tend to specialise in foliage vresias.
What species are you interested in?

Meighan Believe it or not, every method used will have some success:) I suspect sterilised potting mix will be better than sphagnum moss simply because there will be more nutrients available in the mix. My problem has always been that the seeds come up like fleas on a dogs back, but after a while th...

Hi Seth, I don't fertilize my seedlings, all I do is ensure they dont dry out too much. However, on reflection maybe I should. With me, they grow tougher but slower so maybe I should be giving them some help. Its difficult to arrange for my pics to be shown here - ones to date have been via the assi...

Sorry, wrong pic that is just a sample of seedlings I have potted on - I will arrange for the other pic in due course

Seth, Here is a pic of method I use. I germinate seedlings in tea tree bark in sealed plastic containers. This method seems to be more resistant to fungus attack (probably tannins in the bark). Also I noticed that in the heat wave we had a few weeks back (+40 degrees C ) that seeds in tea tree were ...

Timm,
Am forwarding email to you with pics, sorry about all the mucking around.
Flowers & pics look similar to Denis Godecke's pics of Alcantarea extensa but I seem to see differences.

I have some seeds of plant if anyone is interested

Timm I hate to admit it but I am computerly challenged, I have posted 5 pics of Alcanterea in my photo album in Bromeliads for Beginners. Anyone with access to there should be able to find it, album is geyornis. I will try again to post them here with the help of your info. As I said earlier I suspe...
