UEBELMANNIA PECTINIFERA SSP PECTINIFERA VAR MULTICOSTATA HU 362

This species grows in Brasil, Minas Gerais, east of the town Diamantina, north of the river Rio Jequitin Honha, at about 650 m in the nearby mountains. Bromeliads and palms are its neighbour vegetation.

It may grow nearly 20 cm broad or wide and about 80 cm high.

My plant is grafted on some ECHINOPSIS. This May my plant flowered for the first time - you can see the rest of the flower on top of the head. I missed it. But be assured they are not worth to wait and see.
