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.

Arrived in excellent condition
Received more than expected
Will be purchasing again. Also gave info to fellow worker.
I received a nice, carefully labeled division with a healthy look overall. I planted in a well-draining mix…now just waiting for it to root in!
I was looking for this plant for a few years. I was lucky a fellow collector alerted me to VIPP sale where this plant was going to be offered. The packaging and shipping speed was excellent. The plant was well grown, no defects, and healthy roots fill the pot. Unlike some other places that sale cuttings or recently rooted plants. I am very pleased with my purchased and highly recommended tropiflora. Thank you
Arrived on time and in perfect condition! A beautiful cutting ready to pot up! Healthy and without any blemishes! Thank you!
Received fast, packed with care and the selection is awesome. Many plants have pups so double the fun! Thanks you.
WOW! My order was excellent on all fronts. The tillandsia were in great condition and arrived super fast! I'll be ordering again soon for sure!
Stunning plant that is beautiful with red markings on white and green. Large and healthy with many leaves.
The plants arrived days after I ordered them. The packing was excellent, and the plants look amazing.
Arrived today in excellent condition, all the way from Florida to Colorado. A lovely plant and much larger than I expected. I am very pleased.
Oh my they are so cute! I love the care that was taken to make my plant arrived in the best condition. Tropiflora never disappoints in quality plants n quick service. Thanks
I am so happy to have added this gorgeous bromeliad into our collection. I love the reddish-brown coloration and the very unusual silvery zonation. I can not wait for it to grow into a large cluster !!
This exceeded my expectations. I got plants of all sizes and at least half were in blush or bloom. I didn't expect any of that, I figured I'd get a lot of tiny green plants.
I got 12 in my small box and it arrived in a day and a half (I am in Florida).
I was finally able to acquire a long sought after species. Looking forward to the day it looks like the one pictured.
Both the Jenga and the Java purchased were excellent selections. They have added more color and variety to my bromeliad bed out front. I love them!
