A flowering member of the bromeliad family, it is more popularly known as the Silver Vase or the Urn Plant. It sports leathery arched leaves, in mottled silver and sea green that are arranged in a rosette forming a watertight "vase" or "urn", thus the common name. Easy to care for, it has blue blooms emerging from a bright pink bract. It is an excellent indoor plant if you're looking for a tropical plant that is a bit different.
