Aechmea purpureorosea has a nice tight tubular shape with wicked black spines . Has a sensational infl. that seems to be much shorter when grown hard . post-354-025391600 1313568747_thumb.jpg

Aechmea pittieri grown soft appears similar to the above sp. but I am growing mine very hard .

Hohenbergia pennae is fairly small .

Nice ones Michael, Purpureorosea is very similar to triangularis, do you grow many aechmeas in trees or on logs which they relish? Cheers Pete

These (and triangularis) should be required to be registered as deadly weapons.

Michael, nice pics.....the architecture of Aechmea purpureorosea reminds me of Aechmea bracteata somewhat.
