I visited a garden shop in the town of Moca to see what bromeliads they had. The owner, after hearing I liked orchids, showed me this plant. At the time it didn't had any flowers so I was not sold on the idea of buying this plant. But then he say he would sell it for 5 dollars. The price was too cheap not to indulge in a bit of speculative buying. This plant has been easy to culture under the envvironmental conditions of my garden, although it has not bloomed as abundantly as I would have expected given the many pseudobulbs it has produced since I brought it. Still, this plant has been with me for only a year, maybe in the future it will be more generous with its flowers.
