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.

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.

*VIPP plants are Offsets

This beautiful hybrid from the hand of the late Jim Elmore is a cultivar of cruenta (rubra) x chlorosticta Hyb. #418'. Trying to achieve colorful plants that do not need to be in bloom to be at their best, this is one of his success stories. A medium to large green plant with a symmetrical shape of stiff leaves, bearing a net-like pattern of red. The mottled pattern is very evident, but very delicate.
