An exceptional cultivar of this species with leaves bearing intense silver banding over deep green. The narrow banding covers both sides of the leaves and is much brighter than in most other clones. A rare and desirable collector’s item.
This plant is sooo incredibly Beautiful. Black and silver
on the outside of the leaves and a pretty green and silver on the inside of leaves. The form is Lovely. So very pleased. Many Thanks, Bobbie.

A most unusual looking bromeliad, native to most of tropical South America where it grows as an epiphyte. A clustering plant about 30 inches tall (can reach 48 inches!) with whip-like leaves and a bulbous base about an inch in diameter. The habit is erect and slightly arching, forming a tassel-like cluster. The leaf color is reddish, growing deeper red in bright light.
The inflorescence is a short panicle of berries that forms low in the foliage and hangs out to the side. A clump in bloom is an attractive sight. An oddity for sure, but has great appeal as a pot or basket plant and belongs in every bromeliad collection.

Glowing coppery-red best describes the color of this vivid compact Neo. Some red speckling in the leaves give it character and the small size of 10 to 12 inches lets it fit nicely on your garden room shelf.

A hybrid by Lisa Vinzant. We notice that this plant is not currently registered, and that there is another plant by the same name by the late Jim Elmore. This plant is a nice small grower, basically an improved Fireball of which this is almost certainly a hybrid of. A nicer plant than Fireball, with a more leafy rosette and better shape and with a dark candy apple red coloration. Same stoloniferous habit as Fireball. A very nice plant and good terrarium subject.

Both parents of this Ray Lemieux cross of Hechtia lanata x myriantha have some interesting characteristics that should express themselves when the plants grow out. The seed parent, H. lanata, has broad, scurfy, twisting and curling leaves in habitat, which is a tropical desert environment on nutrient poor cliffs.
In cultivation, seedlings of this species tend to have straighter foliage, at least here in sea-level Florida. The pollen parent, H. myriantha, is a giant grower, perhaps the largest of all Hechtia species. Anecdotal stories report that this plant can reach the size of a VW Beetle! The intent of this cross was to produce a large growing hybrid with twisted foliage and silvery scurf. Only time will tell if that will happen.

Great cross. I got this specimen in July, 2021 and set it in a wide pot. So far it’s more than tripled in size and is beginning to overflow the edges of the pot (as in this picture from this past January). It’s been in full sun and doing well - the color does change here with the season (ranging from more red to more green as the angle of the sun changes), but that seems to be typical for several of my Hechtia specimens. Definitely recommend.

This is an as yet unidentified Neoregelia species from Sao Sebastiao, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Wish we knew what this one is, it’s a beauty. Still undescribed, it has a resemblance to chlorosticta, but is not. An upright rosette of apple-green leaves, mottled with white, pink and red, with bright red tips. Pretty and unusual. Hopefully it will one day be described as a new species.
