Rain-covered Blue Tango Aechmea Bromeliad sparkles on red stems

The colors are astounding, especially wet and emblazoned with morning sunlight.

The Aechmea Blue Tango is a new hybrid developed here in So. Florida. Like many bromeliads, it can be grown indoors or outdoors, but wherever you have it.....be prepared for a performance! The light green leaves are beautiful but the flower spike is what sets this bromeliad apart from the rest. It is COBALT blue and HOT pink! It almost looks like it's plugged into a wall socket and lasts for months!
