Bromeliad Vriesea

Copyright 2010 Maria Soto Robbins

This bromeliad caught my eye because it was so unusual! It looks like the stems of the flowers were purposefully bent down. It was the only one like it and the tag only said that it was a bromeliad, not what TYPE of bromeliad. So, I went to forum.bsi.org -The place to discuss bromeliads- and found that it’s a Vriesea Bromeliad and not quiet as common as the others. It’s pretty, don’t you think?

Dimension: 11x14

Media: Oils on canvas panel and gently textured impasto

Bromeliad Vriesea

I found this bromeliad at the Home Depot near my house. It was so unusual! It caught my eye because it looks like the stems of the flowers were purposefully bent down! It was the only one like it and the tag only said that it was a bromeliad, not what TYPE of bromeliad. So, I went to one of the great forums online, forum.bsi.org -The place to discuss bromeliads- and one of the forum members posted that it’s a Vriesea Bromeliad and not quiet as common as the others. It’s pretty, don’t you think?
