My Pride and Joy

My pride and joy is my succulent Aechema - funnel plant. This is an amzing plant, which has a strange life style i.e. it only needs it's funnels to be partially filled with water to survive, and it's flower will grow up through the water to emerge into a fantastic bloom, this lasts for about four to six months, then when the bloom dies so does the funnell, but to continue the line it pushes up some sucker funnels. I will try to get a photo to show you...

 

WOW !!! superb

That's a beautiful pink and certainly a plant to be proud of.

Very interesting. Where do they originate from?

 

Aechmea fasciata originally comes from Brazil Claire.

 

Thanks Walnut,

I never ceases to amaze me the wonderful varieties that grow in hotter climates.

 

Amazing - I want, I want

Would I need to order this from my garden centre or via mail order?
