BROMELIADS Aechmea BLACK CHANTINII & Pup!

Description

The Aechmea Black Chantinii was one of my first loves. There's something about a dramatic, dark foliage with contrasting white markings nestled in with all the other green and colored foliage of a garden. Then when the huge explosion of a bloom shows up......it's like a rocket went off! The bloom is brilliant shades of red, orange, and gold. It lasts for months and looks good even when it's in it's later stages of bloom.  This one is unusual in that it has splotches AND stripes! The sale plant has a pup, as you can see, and is the one in the first 3 pictures.
Hi Everyone! So now I've moved and I'm almost done. It's the first time I've ever been in a different location from my plants, since I started my business.  It feels weird. I'm used to looking out my door anytime day or night, and seeing them. I visited them today and it was like visiting my pets! Little by little, they will be coming to my new home.  There have been changes all over the place, but one thing never changes. Bless my bromeliads for hanging in there! My personal collection has been tested and shows it, but luckily they waited for me and will thrive again, just like us. In the meantime, I've scored some nice plants to share with you and am so glad to be back. I missed you and hope you're all well.
You know the drill.....I ship as soon as possible and will combine plants to save on shipping costs. The volume of the package matters now more than the weight so it may actually be more cost effective to ship in 2 smaller boxes, than a larger one.
I will be glad to send you a shipping refund after the packages are weighed and measured.
I've been using UPS more now because it's more reliable than USPS. Priority mail still claims 2-3 days but tells you the estimated delivery date is a week or frequently more. At least UPS is up front with me.
I welcome any questions you have....although I try to keep my social media time down, so I only do FB. I don't do Messenger, Twitter, or Instagram.
Thanks everyone!
