Billbergia rosea DART FROG wide leaved plant with deepA stunning Venezuelan species with deep chocolate brown over deep green leaves, with abundant silver banding.

Stout spines line the leaf margins. The inflorescence is nothing short of spectacular, a huge pendant panicle of bright pink bracts with white ovaries and large green petals
