A lovely plant introduced by Bullis some years ago but without breeder or cross information. It may be a cultivar of chlorosticta x ‘Fireball’; but it is not known for sure. A smaller grower to about 12 inches across, with multi-colored leaves that are blotched, banded and speckled with shades of yellow and green over a red background. With maturity the center develops whitish blotches on the leaves and in the center. A choice, colorful plant that is a favorite of hybridizers.
A giant grower from hybridizer David Fell in Hawaii. This plant is registered as an xVriecantarea but David lists it’s parents as (‘Volcano’s Mist’ x ‘Volcano’s Mist’).‘Volcano’s Mist’ is an Alcantarea. So, we are confused, where does the Vriesea come in? We are keeping the xVrecantarea name though as that is how the plant was registered with the BSI Cultivar Registrar.
It looks like a nice clone of Alcantarea imperialis with a leafy rosette of broad leaves, red with a veneer of silver in older plants. Highly decorative, it is popular with landscapers.
I can’t describe how beautiful it is. It is so big.

Jim Irvin has a knack with Cryptanthus, (as well as other bromeliads!), and has produced numerous first-class hybrids. This is one of which he can be proud. This hybrid, a cultivar of ‘Sweet Tooth’ x ‘Ice Age,’ and a grex mate to ‘Very Cold Tooth,’ is a dark brown, almost black plant with closely spaced cross banding of silver trichomes with dense silver white scurf underneath. The inch-wide leaves are long and graceful, undulating at the margins in a symmetrical rosette.
A deep red clone of this beautiful sun tolerant species. Medium sized, to about 20 inches when grown hard, but can get quite large if fed. A very stiff leaved plant in an upright funnelform rosette. Deep rusty red with silvery crossbanding, it is native to the sun-baked sandy coastal plain of Brazil’s Maca region in Rio de Janeiro state, it is rare in cultivation.
Absolutely LOVE these! Best quality bromeliads around
I'm blown away by the size and quality of Bromeliads from Tropiflora. I'm so glad I found them. They had every type of bromeliad I was looking for, all are healthy and big, and great pricing for that. I can't wait to come back and get more.

A Brazilian native with wide, thick, leathery leaves in a 15 inch, recurving rosette. An unusual gray-blue color, speckled with tiny red dots and bearing an interesting, branched, yellow inflorescence produced in winter make this an attractive species. In spite of the gray, thick leaves, it is a shade grower in nature, living on granite rock cliff faces inside the mountainous Tijuca forest of Rio de Janeiro. A slow grower, excellent for terrariums when small.
Bold white margins contrast with deep green leaves that blush reddish in strong light. At anthesis the center flushes deep red. Widely popular in landscape use in central and southern Florida.
A medium size grower from Chester Skotak. This one has wide leaves with green edges and cream variegation. The variegation can be wide giving it a medio-picta look. There is a intense veneer of coral red over the leaves. This is a nice clean looking plant.
All I can say is "WOW!" The color of "Backstabber' is an unbelievably bright red and extremely well grown. This Neo is striking!

Neoregelia Backstabber
The Backstabber is a very versatile bromeliad with its deep red, green, and light variegation. I planted a mass grouping in a wooded area, and WOW did it shine. Visitors to our Peaceful Path always stop and do a double take when they walk past the Backstappers! Not only do the Backstabber perform well in a natural setting, they also are a perfect plant for Christmas planters. Some Christmas greenery, the Backstabber and some Neoregelia Magali all arranged in large urns are the perfect Christmas planters! You can’t go wrong with the colors this time of the year!
