A perfect hybrid. Halfway between both parents (brachycaulos x concolor), this fine hybrid has the shape of a concolor with fairly stiff leaves, but a glabrous sheen like brachycaulos. At anthesis it blushes red with a short scape with long, stiff bracts and short red branches bearing deep pink flowers. Highly recommended.

A pretty name for a very pretty plant. A boldly light pink and white variegated form of Cryptanthus bivittatus that forms a very leafy rosette of undulating leaves to about six inches across. A prolific pupper, great for terrariums.
