THIS PLANT IS ON C.I.T.E.S. AND CANNOT BE EXPORTED
A epiphytic cactus that blooms at night. It grows as a loose mass of long flat strappy leaves. It produces large white fragrant flowers in the warmer months of the year. the flowers can reach 8 inches in diameter. It prefers bright filtered light but not full sun.
Got the cutting in fine shape and have planted it. I am old so hope I will live to see it bloom!
Can’t wait for the bloom. I love epiphytic cactus. Works well in our salt air.
Goudaea ospinae var. gruberi
525
A beautiful plant that Tropiflora helped introduce to cultivation. Native to the same mountainous region of central Colombia which produces ospinae and chrysostachys, there is absolutely nothing that compares to this plant. The foliage is very tough and is various shades of green, with brown and black reticulations, mottling and markings. The effect is almost like that of a ‘Silk’ plant so unique is the pattern. Does not much resemble typical ospinae, the plants are bigger, fuller with wider leaves and do not pup as much as the typical form. The inflorescence is yellow and well branched. Thrives in normal bromeliad mix or even bare root.
Goudaea ospinae var. gruberi 'Smudge Pattern'
9113
A cultivar of Goudaea ospinae v. gruberi, a beautiful Colombian species, with (in our opinion) an unfortunate name choice. A beauty with light green colored leaves that have reduced burgundy colored markings that resemble wet ink that has been smeared. Grows and offsets the same as other ospinae v. gruberi cultivars and has the same inflorescence.

Hechtia rosea x caerulea

This Tropiflora hybrid definitely came out looking more like the H. coerulea parent, with semi-stiff, green, grassy leaves. The leaf margins, although 'spineless', are very sharp and can give a swift ’paper cut’ to the unwary. For something unusual, give one a try!

Wow! Just when you thought you knew everything about Dennis Cathcart! This one was hard to put down. The stories Dennis retells reminded me of the old Tropiflora Cargo Reports. Exciting, adventurous, high drama set in some of the beautiful and sometimes dangerous jungles of the world. Even a sad story here and there…I had to put the book down for the day after reading about Big Red. If you’re a fan of Tropiflora, you need to read this book!
