Abstract
Guzmanis `Lemonade` is a bromeliad characterized by long strap-like glossy leaves that form a rosette at the center of which is a tall showy bloom spike. This inflorescence is a bright and vivid yellow, often with traces of red and orange. These colors set Guzmania `Lemonade` apart from any known cultiver of the Guzmania genus. The inflorescence of Guzmania `Lemonade` will last between 3 and 6 months under most conditions. The Guzmania `Lemonade` is especially suited to use as an interior houseplant as it will tolerate a wide variety of environmental conditions.
