Quesnelia liboniana, commonly known as Prickbägare, is an evergreen perennial herb endemic to the Atlantic Forest of Southeast Brazil, particularly thriving in the understory of coastal forests and mountainous regions. It typically grows to a height of 2-5 feet (0.6-1.5 meters) and a width of 0.5-2 feet (0.2-0.6 meters). This bromeliad has a rosette-forming habit with stiff, spiny leaves and produces striking inflorescences with orange bracts and blue flowers in the spring, which are quite showy and attract pollinators.

Prickbägare is valued for its exotic appearance and vibrant flower display, making it a popular choice for tropical and subtropical gardens. It is often used in shaded garden areas, as an accent plant, or in containers. It requires consistent moisture but must be planted in well-draining soil to prevent root rot. While it prefers part shade to full shade, it can tolerate brighter light if acclimated properly. It is not tolerant of frost and should be protected or moved indoors in cooler climates.CC BY-SA 4.0
