"This picture demonstrates the stoloniferous habit of the members of the genus Bromelia.
This species, as its name implies, is one of the smaller of the species with a rosette barely reaching 50 cm in diameter. When in bloom, the leaves turn a deep cardinal red color.
The pup in the picture is at the end of a spiny stolon over a meter long.
Bromelias are incredibly armed and never fail to draw blood." Ken Marks
