Aechmea gamosepala cv 'Lucky Stripes'

I got this from Bill Baker at California Gardens in Los Angeles.
What is very interesting about this plant is the growth of an albino. Since it has no chlorophyll of its own, its life is dependent on the mother. It cannot be separated without killing it.

I have had other albino pups before but none of them lasted as long as this one. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, hoping for an inflorescence!
