Billbergia nutans 'Rare Form' Vriesea lubbersii upright flower spike with greenishBillbergia nutans Rare Form is a very choice and rare variety of Billbergia nutans. I was gifted this plant 15 years ago from a collector in Europe. The closest id i have for this plant is that it is a form of Billbergia nutans. It is a very nice plant it differs from the common B. nutans in that it has a much tighter and more compact plant with rigid leaves and a taller and more upright flower spike. It also has longer stolons or above ground
