Encholirium horridum x Pitcairnia smithiorum vipp 1-8 with many purple concentric bandsA cultivar of (Encholirium horridum x Pitcairnia smithiorum) by Bryan Windham. This is the first time that we are offering this hybrid. We do not know what the inflorescence will look like. Right now they resemble the Encholirium parent. The plants have many narrow, strap like, spiny leaves, recurving downward to form a graceful ball like shape. First time release of this hybrid.
