A new Chester Skotak release for 2012 was actually a cultivar of (Punctate Red x Hannibal Lector) that Chester made in 2002. A plant reminiscent of N. ampullacea in general size and shape, that has a pattern of reddish bars over a yellowish green base color above and reddish below. The marginal spines are quite stout and black and the leaf tips are apiculate.
A good terrarium plant and forms a nice cluster in a pot or basket. Named in honor of the late Ed Prince, a prominent bromeliad collector from Miami.
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 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.
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.
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.

A Chester Skotak release from 2012. A little plant only about 5 inches tall and 6 inches across with inch-wide leaves of light green, albomarginated with white. With maturity the plant develops a magenta red color half way up the leaves, long before anthesis, with the magenta color on both sides of the leaves.

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.
Delivered in perfect condition. Unusual and already a large plant at a diameter of 14". Will be perfect for NE FL since it is from coastal Brazil.

This plant came from a collector in Brazil and we do not have any data on it related to locality. It does resemble plants in the group of Neos going as carcharodon of one sort or another. A medium grower to 20 inches across or so, with wide leaves in a stacked up rosette shape. The leaves are fairly thick and leathery with stout marginal spines, light green blushing coppery pink and suffused with reddish speckles and a black leaf tips ending in a hook like spine.

This cute little stoloniferous miniature has apple green leaves with cherry red tips. The leaf undersides have some gray scurf and light banding. Nice for mounting or a hanging pot due to its stoloniferous habit.
