Aechmea 'Saturn V' Size:8-inch Pot Aside from the striped leavesA new hybrid by Bryan Windham. It's a cross between Aechmea chantinii 'Black' x Aechmea brassicoides. The center of the plant is an upright rosette of burgundy chocolate, slightly overlapping leaves that are heavily scurfed. At anthesis the red bracted inflorescence comes out the center of the plant. A truly unique and bizarre looking plant. NO HOLDING FIRST TIME RELEASE!
