Vriesea

 

Vriesea is a genus of flowering plants in the botanical family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Tillandsioideae. The genus name is for Willem Hendrik de Vriese, Dutch botanist, physician (1806–1862).[2] Its species are widespread over Mexico, Central America, South America and the West Indies.[1]

 

Containing some of the largest bromeliad species, these tropical plants harbor a wide variety of insect fauna, unlike the smaller Catopsis species. In the wild, frogs may go through their whole life cycle in a bromeliad. This genus is closely related to Guzmania. Both Guzmania and Vriesea have dry capsules that split open to release parachute like seeds similar to the Dandelion (Taraxacum sp.). Most Vriesea are epiphytes and grow soil-less on trees. they have no roots but have special hold fasts that do not take in any nutrients. All nutrients are taken in through the center "tank" made by a rosette of leaves.

The genus Vriesea is known primarily for spectacular inflorescences among its 250 species. Most vrieseas are tank bromeliads with soft and shiny leaves. The mostly sword shaped flowering spikes vary from single to many-branched which are usually colored a brilliant red or yellow. There are many hybrids produced that are just out of this world amazing. Most Vrieseas prefer shade to part shade and adapt to hot (90°F) to cool temperatur
