Recently an article by the Cultivar Registrar for the BSI - Derek Butcher of Australia, appeared on the Florida Council of Bromeliad Societies web site (FCBS.org) concerning Billbergia pyramidalis.
...
Mr. Butcher has been unable to find any plants matching the totally red flowered description and after an exhaustive search, has come to the conclusion that such a plant never existed!
...
Butcher proposes calling this form B. 'Gloria'.
...
I'm glad that Mr. Butcher has taken such an interest in solving it - and I have no doubt that he eventually will.
Meanwhile, I look forward to following the progress on this and other bromeliad puzzles as reports are posted on the Internet.
What's that?
