A cultivar of (calyculata x recurvata) is a tough and handsome small grower that keeps a compact shape in varying light conditions. The recurvata parent lends an upright, compact, vase-like shape, and the calyculata parent adds the bright yellow flowering inflorescence. Nice for landscape around boulders.

I know bromeliaceae that I have grown and known way up here in the frozen tundra. Yes, here in East Tennessee USA the land is stretched out horizontally east to west. Formerly from the Atlantic Coast to the great Mississippi River, as Carolina, after Andrew Jackson evicted all the Cherokee Nation.....
Any way I digress.
This is one of my current top ten cold hardy landscaping bromeliads. Originally I got one offset from nurseryman, hybridizer, and all round nice guy Grant Groves maybe 10 years ago.
With out a name tag.
But I know bromeliaceae, and I've been growing them since 1979. This Ae. 'Phoenix' is the same clonotype, or cultivated variety.
Xander Karatas. Somewhere in the Smokies.
The plant arrived in good condition, and I can't wait to see it bloom.

Nice plant in size and shape for terrariums. Somewhat upright stoloniferous rosettes to about 8 inches or so, will hold a considerable amount of water in the leaf axials.
The green leaves have dark bases, fairly small spines and the inflorescence is a delicate spike with sessile flowers bearing red sepals and blue petals.

First brought into cultivation by Wally Berg from one of his Brazilian trips.

A choice miniature from Mexico that grows in a full compact rosette to about 6 inches. The stiff leaves are very thick and succulent terminating in a sharp spine. With age the plant develops white filaments along the leaf margins, which grow fairly long and curl. This form has bold creamy white variegation along the margins. Cold hardy for gardens to freezing and just below. Small enough and slow enough for pot culture.
