Nidularium Fulgens (orange)
The many leaves of Nidularium Fulgens form a medium to large spreading rosette about 450 cm in diameter. The leaves tend to be slightly narrower near that base and widen down their length before tapering to a definite point. The colour of these stiff serrated leaves is green, delicately mottled with darker green spots. At flowering it forms bright orange bracts leaves that are short and pointed. It comes from Brazil and prefers bright shade to morning sun.
