Of the commonly cultivated ones there are still many, and each has its own special beauty and charm. We have assembled two collections chosen to represent the wide diversity and beauty of the fascinating bromeliad family. Each collection contains 10 offsets of 10 different genera, 20 in all in the two collections, all labeled, ready to pot.
