Description
Guzmania musaica is a stemless, evergreen, epiphytic perennial plant that can reach a height of 20–40 centimetres (7.9–15.7 in). Leaves are about two feet long, simple, with entire margins, spineless, light green with reddish and dark green transverse striations. In the central rosette of leaves grows a long stem topped by a beautiful inflorescence of pink-red bracts with many waxy tubular yellow flowers arranged in spikes. The plant blooms from June to August. The fruits are septicidal capsules. After it has produced its fruits, the plant dies.
