A Ray Coleman cross of (gigas x ‘Tingua’) that is a large growing plant reaching 20 inches tall and 45 inches across with 3 inch wide leaves. In strong light the leaves are rich, rusty brown with some dark red speckling. No significant color change at anthesis. Flowers are blue. Useful in landscape as it is a large grower with a tolerance for sun and harsh conditions.

An as yet unnamed cross of Neoregelia ‘Rio Ocher’ x olens ‘Vulcan’ is an apple green plant with a vivid red center flush at anthesis. The inch and a half wide leaves are somewhat thick and leathery and the marginal spines are small. It develops some red cross-banding on the leaves which become more pronounced with strong light or when grown “harder”. Offsets are on short stolons and the plant is good for mounting and for terrarium use.

A brilliantly white margined form of Neo. compacta. A stoloniferous plant to 20 inches or so, light green, blushing brilliant red in the center when in bloom. Great for direct mounting in trees in subtropical locations or for a really different hanging basket subject. Once very rare and very expensive, it is nothing if not prolific.

This is an old Joe Carrone hybrid of 'Midget' x 'Vulcan', a small plant with an upright, tight vase shape with light green to reddish leaves, heavily speckled with red. Its stoloniferous habit makes it suitable for a hanging basket and its small size makes it good for terrariums.

The late Jim Elmore was ahead of his time when he made many interesting Neoregelia hybrids back in the mid 1970s. Some are quite beautiful and are with us today and some have disappeared from cultivation unless they exist here and there in private collections. This cross of 'Pepper' x 'Foster's Freckles' is a smaller grower than most of his others and forms 8 inch rosettes with somewhat bottle shaped bases. The leaves are broad and light green to yellowish when stressed and covered with many red spots. The offsets are on short stolons and the center blushes slightly reddish at anthesis with large blue flowers.
