VRIESEA PSEUDOATRA 'EUREKA” VERY RARE !!!!!

A large Brazilian species described by Elton Leme and about which, unfortunately, we know little. Little that is, except that it is a beauty! Resembling Vr. platynema and that group in general shape, and with leaves of similar thick, leathery texture. A full rosette of moderately stiff, wide leaves of medium green dusted with a waxy gray powder, giving the plant a glaucous appearance. The leaves do not bear any markings such as dark tips or bases and have no pronounced reticulations or mottling. We have not seen the inflorescence.

This clone, however, has beautiful medio-picta type variegation of stark white, a gorgeous plant that will reach at least 30 inches across. The plant in the second picture is the plant for sale which will be shipped bareroot
