Identification (11491): Uncle Derek (2014-05-15) =Billbergia 'Windigig Special' - Unless you have provenance leading to Brazil I doubt the name nana. Windigig Special has close links to B. amoena and has a chequered career. The whole sad story is in the Bromeliad Cultivar Register (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
Add Note (11491): VItaly Alyonkin (2014-05-15) - I've receive this plant from Alvim Seidel from Orquidário Catarinense, Brazil
Add Note (11491): Uncle Derek (2014-05-16) - Interesting. This is the first time I have seen direct links to Brazil. But then never trust the name on the label It looks like you have some dissecting to do. I will send you Pereira's 1973 description direct. Windigig Special had its origins in horticulture some 15 years before this. Others may wish to check what is on fcbs.org especially Beadle's photos (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
Add Note (11494): Uwe (2014-05-18) - Isn't that the thing we call Bilbergia buchholtzii? Astonishingly similar! Compare picture 11502 of this database. Any comments welcome. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
Add Note (11491): VItaly Alyonkin (2014-05-18) - Uwe, our plant without gray transverse stripes on the leaves. In dim light turns green plant, with bright sun - red, but there is never gray stripes on the leaves. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
