Vriesea 'Mint Julep' X DYCKCOHNIA this cross was made withA cultivar of an old hybrid of Vr. barilletii x intermedia that has become a very popular yet still uncommon plant in collections. The leaves start out light green with deep green to brownish tessellations covering both sides of the glossy leaves. As leaves mature, the colors darken a bit but the bold pattern stays vivid. The inflorescence is a purple, feather like spike. Great for a large pot or for landscape.
