Bryan Windham's hybrid of Aechmea chantinii 'Deleon' x Sincoraea ulei.

This nice cross by Lisa Vinzant is a cultivar of Neoregelia chlorosticta ‘Marble Throat’ x Sincoraea (formerly Orthophytum) navioides. Of a size rather typical of many xSincoregelias, about 20 inches across or so with many narrow, stiff leaves in a very leafy rosette. The leaves are lime green and tint pinkish in strong light. At anthesis the center leaves blush deep fuchsia pink out the nearly the leaf tips. Flowers are light lavender in a nidular inflorescence.

A bi-generic hybrid by Michael Kiehl. The parents are Sincoraea navioides x Neoregelia lilliputiana. Not a large grower. Matures at 8" to 10" inches across. Grows best in strong light and will turn completely red when grown in these conditions.

A bi-generic hybrid by Jim Pearce. Narrow green channeled leaves that turns red and has yellow blotches as the plant matures. The overall size is 20 inches across. Prefers bright light. As with most xSincoregelias it needs to be watered regularly. xSincoregelias like to be fertilized, so if you are using water soluble fertilize once a month. If you are using time release apply it twice per year.

A new nothogenera: xSincorglaziovia is a hybrid created here by Ray Lemieux of (Neoglaziovia variegata x Sincoraea albopictum) and first published in the BSI Journal, Vol. 61 (5) Sep. Oct. 2012. Ray made the cross back in 2006 and when it finally bloomed for the first time in 2011 he thought he a recreated the pineapple! The inflorescence emerging between the stiff leaves looked a lot like the inflorescence of a pineapple. Of the many seed produced, only 1/3 germinated and only a single seedling survived!

An unusual plant with half inch wide leaves in an upright rosette taper to a point. The foliage is silver-gray below and glabrous reddish-purple above in good light, with faint cross bands of silver. Marginal spines are tiny, giving a more serrated than spiny appearance. The inflorescence is a cluster of short, green branches on a short scape and the flowers light pinkish lavender with an open corolla. A terrestrial, it grows in clusters with abundant offsets.
