Aechmea orlandiana var. Ensign ©

Aechmea grow epiphytically and terrestrial in the Rain Forests of South America.
The leaves of Aechmea's are sturdy, tough and armed with sometimes very vicious spines and often covered with silvery scales (Silver Vase), all indications of adaptation to life in fairly bright light. They often grow on rock, storing the water they need in their tanks.
