Pink Aechmea fasciata bromeliad flower.

The Bromeliaceae family consists of about 46 genera, several thousand species and a bewildering number of hybrids and cultivars. All are well able to adapt to their surroundings, which can range from steamy jungles to deserts.

Also known as 'angel wing' begonias because of their distinctive leaf shape, are best as garden plants or tub specimens, sited where they can receive morning sun. The bamboo-like stems of some varieties can rise as high as two metres each spring, bearing large clusters of attractive, drooping flowers from mid summer to late autumn.
