Aechmea roeseliae
2006.0205

I have often told Newbies not to give up too quickly when a plant appears to be dead.
Here is a plant that appeared to be dead months ago. I just put it in back of some prettier ones.
It got water and I gave it TIME!
And it rewarded my patience with four pups.
I will leave them on until they get at least half the size of the mother.
I may leave them on to form a clump!

See the "dead" leaf at the top left.
