A long time favorite with wide deep-burgundy leaves has become a standard in horticulture. Widely used in landscapes of central and southern Florida, this handsome bromeliad is a beautiful asset to any collection.
Love the Neo Bromeliads for use as an indoor plant.

A Neo. ‘Fireball‘ x carolinae ‘Dwarf’ hybrid, at about 10 inches is larger than the original ‘Fireball’, and flushes a nice red in strong light. Good in terrariums and its stoloniferous habit makes this a particularly good subject for hanging basket culture. Popular with landscapers.
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.
A handsome species that should be more widely grown, has an open rosette shape about 12 inches across, coppery green with heavy markings of dark brown to almost black and dark leaf tips. Fragrant flowers.

A stoloniferous, funnelform rosette to 6 inches, with red tips, reddish-bronze color and abundant red speckling. Nice for mounting, growing in a hanging pot or terrarium.
This brilliantly colored miniature is a Skotak hybrid of (carolinae variegata x Hannibal Lecter) x (Tiger Cub). A funnel like, vase shape with green leaves that are boldly albomarginated and with vivid red or deep pink banding on the upper and undersides. Offsets are on very short stolons. A good choice for terrariums.
A variegated clone of Neoregelia cruenta ‘Sun King’ that was found in the beachside restinga of Rio de Janeiro. A beautiful stiff-leaved upright wide-leaved rosette with red-tipped green leaves, turning yellow in strong light, with yellowish variegation. A real stunner and still on the rare side.
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.
A nice plant that resembles a small N. cruenta in shape and coloration. Stiff, light green leaves with red tips form 8 to 10 inch funnel form rosettes on short stolons. A ‘thumb print’ marks the base of the leaf.

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.
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.

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.
