Bromelia serra 

(variegated)

Taxon # 31-12

Bromelia pinguin (variegated) can almost be deceiving with it's more decorative albo-marginated leaves as to being less lethal than the norm. No, the scalpels lining the edges of these plants will draw blood just as quickly as the normal all green bromeliads. Place these plants well away from a trafficked area.

Acquired as serra forma variegata as a small offset in the spring of 2008, this bromeliad has a ways to go before antithesis. The FCBS site has more on the ID of this clone. Next up - a blooming plant - probably in 2010.
