I would like to know what this is.
I know its a Bilbergia LOL but I don;t know which one.
I bought this back around 2003/4 from I think Tropiflora. They had it named 'Bilbergia ROSA'. I guess because of the reddish striations it gets. But as far as I can tell, there IS no cultivar called 'Rosa'.
Then I thought it might be 'rosea' but the photos don;t match.
It is EXTREMELY hardy. It multiplies very readily. It grows in large clumps in my yard and has seen 20F in years past without comment.
It very, very rarely blooms. But one is about to bloom now.
Any ideas on the ID?
