Description
The silver vase (Aechmea fasciata), also called an urn plant, is a bromeliad. This flowering tropical plant gets its common names from the fact that at the base the leaves overlap and form a sort of container where they store water. The leaves are tough and spiky, silver and sea green in color. The flowers are tiny and blue – this pink that you see here is called a bract. It lasts up to six months – but the flip side of that is that it takes five years for the plant to reach maturity and flower AND it only flowers once.
