This outstanding Skotak hybrid is a cultivar of [(carolinae x concentrica) x ‘Royal Burgundy’] x ‘Royal Burgundy’. A red hot beauty with a reddish-burgundy overall color and darker medio-picta variegation. The variegation blushes a vivid, even brilliant red, giving the plant a glowing look. Beautiful, a must-have for your collection.

Neoregelia ‘Hannibal Lecter‘ An unusual, very decorative hybrid from Chester Skotak, with a name that reflects his famed, warped wit. Three clones exist, all selections of a grex resulting from the cross of Neo. punctatissima x carcharodon ‘Tiger’. In general, the plants are medium sized, to about 24 inches across, very stiff leaved with stout spines, and boldly banded with reddish-brown over green.

*VIPP plants are Offsets - NOT the mature plant in the photo

A species plant, kautskyi has one of the most unusual colorations of any bromeliad. When grown ‘hard’, that is without excess fertilizer and in bright locations (up to full sun!) it takes on a vivid yellow color, with dark burgundy concentric bands. Very stunning and well suited to landscape use. Mature plants are about 15 to 20 inches across. Native to the Atlantic Forest of Eastern Brazil.

*Some lower leaves have blemishes

A nice, fairly large plant with a 30 inch rosette, apple green leaves with red tips and red veneer, heaviest towards the tips. The green shows through the red, forming spots.

A medium size grower. Green colored leaves that develop a purple veneer. The purple veneer is broken by many greenish yellow spots. Blushes purple at anthesis. Makes a nice landscape plant.

An uncommon plant that is not yet widely represented in collections, Neoregelia x correiaaraujoi albomarginated is an enigmatic species considered by some to be a natural hybrid of Neo. johannis and marmorata. It is, however, listed in the binomials and is still an ‘official’ species.

A large growing plant from the southern regions of the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, the rosette can be nearly 4 feet across with leaves 6 inches wide, light green with red mottling, pale above, stronger below, and red leaf tips. In bright light or even full sun it becomes much more compact.

Our clone is a albomarginated, with a wide creamy white stripe up the leaf margins. 

* May have some blemishes *

A smaller grower with a somewhat upright rosette shape. The leaves are almost smooth, light green with darker green mottling and develop a reddish veneer with age. The center is light at anthesis with white flowers. Useful as a terrarium subject.

An Australian hybrid from Shane Zaghini, Neoregelia 'Spotted Night' is a loose rosette to 12 inches, with fairly broad green leaves, strongly banded below with dark purple.

The late Jim Elmore was ahead of his time when he made many interesting Neoregelia hybrids back in the mid 1970s. Some are quite beautiful and are with us today and some have disappeared from cultivation unless they exist here and there in private collections. This cross of 'Pepper' x 'Foster's Freckles' is a smaller grower than most of his others and forms 8 inch rosettes with somewhat bottle shaped bases. The leaves are broad and light green to yellowish when stressed and covered with many red spots. The offsets are on short stolons and the center blushes slightly reddish at anthesis with large blue flowers.
