Dyckia Bromeliad
Orange flowers appear in late summer into early fall much to the delight of hummingbirds and gardeners. This un-described species hails from Brazil where it grows in full sun on grassy hillsides. Unlike other species, the older leaves begin to curl up with age creating a very unique form. Full sun and dryish conditions appear to be the best approach for containers.
