A rare variegated form of the species. The caudex is variegated with yellow. 

Not to be confused with Adenium, a completely different genus. Actually succulent forms of the Passifloraceae or Passion Flower family, many Adenias form thick stems which endear them to caudiciform plant lovers. However, when young they little resemble the future finished product. Typical young venenata are tall and resemble an upside-down elongated carrot. The leaves are accompanied by thread-like tendrils which vine around any available object. The caudex thickens with age and can reach 6 feet in very old plants and the vine can go on for 30 feet or more, but can be trimmed to keep it manageable. Leaves are stellate and the flowers are tiny, green and dioecious. Native to central and eastern Africa.

Outstanding plants now considered a form of obesum. Thicker and squatter than most other forms, these beauties form an extra thick caudex with multiple fat branches. The flowers are pink with stripes in the throat.

*May not have leaves, in dormancy

These are seedlings. We can't guarantee the flowers will look like flowers but they have good genetics. Some plants may be starting their dormancy.

An Aechmea eurycorymbus hybrid from Bullis Bromeliads. Large growing with stiff green leaves. The inflorescence has clustered branches of yellow with red bracts and is very colorful. The inflorescence is long lasting and this is a good landscape plant. 

A cultivar of (Aechmea chantinii x ramosa). The plant is an upright funnel form rosette with fairly stiff, 2 to 3 inch wide leaves nearly 24 inches long, with fairly large spines and reddish tips. The color is medium green with pale green variegation and light gray banding as with the chantinii parent. The inflorescence is well-branched and erect, with a rose-red scape and scape bracts and yellow flowers with rose-tinted yellow ovaries. Appears to be very long lasting in bloom.

This plant was found in a Panamanian landscape by Bob Alonzo who obtained an offset, mistaking it for a variegated Portea petropolitana in its non-blooming state. He gave the plant to us upon his return. Since blooming, we feel the plant is the above hybrid and Harry Luther of the BIC concurs. Since there is no record of this cross in a variegated state in cultivation, we have decided to register it and name it in honor of Bob Alonzo who made the find.

*VIPP plants are Offsets

A possible hybrid from Bullis Bromeliads. Inflorescence is a yellow nidular bloom. The inflorescence lasts for 4 to 6 months in color.

Makes an outstanding landscape plant. A broad open rosette, 3 feet across with dull red 2 inch wide leaves.

*VIPP plants are Offsets

An outstanding albomarginated clone of the beautiful, red-bracted chantinii. Green leaves have silver crossbands, stronger on the undersides, boldly albomarginated with creamy white. Grows well potted or mounted but excels in a hanging basket subject, with downward curving stolons that will form an attractive clump.

*VIPP plants are Offsets

An interesting looking nudicaulis from Brazil. The color is solid green but as the plant matures it develops purple blotching in the center leaves. The plant also turns lighter pale green color in the throat which makes the blotching stand out. The edges of the leaves have pronounced black spines.

*VIPP plants are Offsets

A cultivar of recurvata, probably var. benrathii, with very dark, almost black, bases.  A clump forming plant that stays at about six inches tall or less.

*VIPP plants are Offsets

This Japanese clone is a light green beauty with a tightly bulbous shape and brilliant red-orange blush on the upper leaves when blooming. Most likely a selection of recurvata v. recurvata, it assumes a very tight ball shape with maturity. A very choice plant that is easy to grow.

*VIPP plants are Offsets

The reverse of a popular cross produces a more delicate plant, with a shape favoring the recurvata parent. The inflorescence is a short scape with colorful red bracts and pale yellow flowers.
