Abstract
A new and distinct variety of Aechmea fasciata is provided which forms a large abundantly branched pink-bracted inflorescence with contrasting blue flowers. The leaves are wide and spineless and prominently display silver-white coloration (as illustrated). The new variety can be readily distinguished from the `DeLeon` variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,832) by the greater degree of branching of the inflorescence, a greater width of the leaves, and the presence of more silver-white coloration on the leaves.
