Floral Friday- Billbergia Rosea

 The Billbergia rosea had put out its huge inflorescence in a forgotten corner of my garden when I saw it.
The inflorescence had large pink bracts, and pearl-grey and jade green flowers.
I thought such an exotic and beautiful flowerdeserved a better place than the rocky corner in my garden. I uprooted the whole plant and kept it in a shiny brass pot at the entrance of my home.
I thank Nick for his meme Floral Friday, where you can see beautiful flowers.

    I can´t help but think the plant liked that rocky corner. I mean, providing a flower like that. Well, I hope it will thrive where it is now.

    that's a lovely and big flower for a not so leafy plant, it really look neglected so it bloomed to get your attention! it succeeded.

    I have a couple of those and they have only flowered once, I gather they are a bromeliad family and will send out a side shoot that will grow into a new plant, is that right?

    A stunning flower. I don't blame you for moving it somewhere to show it off better.

    Throughout history, this mysterious Arctic superherb gave the Vikings their renowned strength and stamina and Soviet Olympic athletes the edge during the Cold War.
