Identification:
- Identification: (2018-11-13) =Guzmania conifera
- I do not know how an old inflorescence of Guzmania conifera colores, but at anthesis its bracts are bright orange with yellow tip (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl) - Identification: (2018-12-03) =Guzmania x conifera hybrid
- Got the advice from Peter Bak that it is probably a G. conifera x G. lingulata hybrid (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl) - Note: (2018-12-03) - try to cross it with a normal G. conifera to see it will procuce seed. Hybrids of it are 99.9% sterile
- Note: (2018-12-04) - Was the plant found in the wild or a plant nursery? It could be man made. see 'Olympia. Check Bromeliad Cultivar Register (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
