Flowers or a Bract on a Bromeliad?
Channel: The Indoor Garden TV Show
Date: 2015-01-19

This very brief clip from "The Indoor Garden", a 90's TV series, shows you exactly what the difference is between the flowers of a bromeliad and its bract. 

Flower bracts definition:
bract (brăkt) n. A leaflike or scalelike plant part, usually small, sometimes showy or brightly colored, and located just below a flower, a flower stalk, or an inflorescence. [From Latin bractea, gold leaf, perhaps from Greek brakhein, to rattle.] brac′te·al (brăk′tē-əl) adj.

There are care instructions for this Bromeliad and a surprising story about a Guzmania that I owned, on this post at  "The Indoor Garden" blog:

If you'd like more information on the Guzmania check out another blog post on that species:

Please feel free to ask questions about your plant in "comments".

The soundtrack for all of "The Indoor Garden" episodes were composed by Srini P.  He is still composing and you can check out more of his music at:
