I still have so much to learn about this huge family, I'd never thought I had to search in the Vriesea genus, when there is a bloom it can give a clue, though still very difficult (for me at least) as members of the same genus can still look so different!


It is definitely Vriesea gigantea!
I'm doubting between the one Danita suggests; Vriesea gigantea 'Nova', and Vriesea gigantea var. seideliana...they could be either fitting..

Aha! I found this one, it even has the subtle reddish speckles!

But look how they call it: Vriesea gigantea var. seideliana aka 'Nova'!!
Vriesea gigantea 'Nova' must be the synonym of Vriesea gigantea var. seideliana!

Thank you Danita and Janet! You both got it! Hurray!
