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.

Definitely an unusual species, with few but thickly succulent leaves in a compact rosette. A neat 'windowed' species with a background color of dark green, tinted reddish, turning darker red in bright light and the leaf surface is patterned with gold tessellations. Flaring white and greenish-brown striped flowers appear on a tall arching scape that can reach over three feet! In nature, this species often grows under shrubs, sending it's inflorescence up through the foliage into the view of pollinators.
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!

Bulbs prefer to be potted in well-draining soil and watered from the side - not directly on the bulb. Leaves sprout in the spring. Can handle strong light.
*The 4 inch pots are recently potted bulbs that have rooted.

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!
