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.
