A neat little Skotak hybrid of (carolinae x olens ‘Marie’) x (olens ‘Marie’ x carolinae ‘Shadowlawn’) that forms compact 6 to 8 inch rosettes of light green leaves, variegated nicely with bright white. A cherry red center flush, red tips and a suffusion of tiny red speckles and random blotches make this a very attractive plant.
An old Hummel hybrid from the ‘60s or ‘70s of unreported parentage that has remarkable resemblance to the ‘new’ carcharodon ‘Tiger’ crosses so prevalent nowadays. A small, compact grower with spiny, bronzy, pink tipped leaves bearing many red bars and connected spots. Colorful plant for small spaces and a good terrarium subject.
A nice, rather upright spineless plant with a pink cast to the foliage, bold creamy-white variegation and a deep red center flush at anthesis. Forms an attractive clump with many offsets on short stolons.
Neoregelia 'Spanish Sunset' is a medium to large growing hybrid from Australian hybridizer Shane Zaghini. Light yellow green leaves which are covered with red mottling throughout. The center of the plant turns red at anthesis. A single rosette can mature at 20 inches across. Grows best in bright filtered light.
A clone of (carolinae x carcharodon). A handsome Chester Skotak hybrid. A wide leaved beauty in a rather massive rosette to over 30 inches across has much character. A great shape, gracefully arching, rose tinted leaves with nice large but not sharp spines and bold, wide white margins make this a popular choice for container or landscape. Over the years several clones have come about, but this one is the original, and best clone.

A release for 2020 from Chester Skotak. Its shape is a upright flaring rosette with a slight whorl to the leaves. Dark green with white margined leaves. The leaves are patterned with numerous broken bands of red. The leaf edges are armed with sharp black spines. This one is a knockout when looking at it in person.
A larger clone of this familiar species, can reach over 12 inches across. An open rosette shape with light green leaves red speckled and red banded on the upper and lower sides. Red leaf tips and moderate spines finish the look. Used widely in many hybrids.
An interesting stoloniferous plant with stiff greenish-coppery leaves in an open rosette. The center cup flushes orange when in bloom and the stoloniferous habit makes an interesting cluster.
A small growing hybrid by Michael Kiehl. Burgundy red with green spots and blotches. Matures at 7 inches tall. Offsets are produced on long stolons. Looks best in a hanging pot or mounted.
Similar species to compacta, but larger and (we think) nicer. A large grower with light green, slightly mottled, spineless leaves which flush deep red with white speckles in the center when blooming. Pups are stoloniferous and upright.
