Yet unnamed, this Sharon Petersen hybrid of Dyckia choristaminea and an unreported other Dyckia as pollen parent is a smaller grower. Compact rosettes of narrow, bronze/red leaves dusted with silvery white scurffing are about six inches across when mature. The leaves, though narrow, are wider than the choristaminea parent, at about a quarter inch.

A Skotak miniature, a cultivar of (carolinae variegated x Hannibal Lecter x Tiger Cub), has broad leaves in an 8 to 10 inch rosette. The water holding tank and small spines make this one made-to-order for frog tanks. The leaves are light green with many red speckles, especially on the undersides, and broad, white margins. A very attractive plant.

An Australian hybrid that we acquired from Keith Golinski. A stiff leaved plant with a golden green color that turns orange with a light veneer of red when grown in strong light. The anthesis cup color is red. Easy to grow and offsets well.

*VIPP plants are Offsets

A species from the southeast coastal jungles in the State of Bahia, Brazil has many long narrow linear-lanceolate leaves forming a loose 16-inch diameter open rosette plant.  The leaf axils are rosy-brown red fading to green tips.  The leaves have small loosely spaced spines with a widely spaced crisped edge.  The offsets start appearing at the base of the plant before flowering and towards the crown during and after flowering.

A decorative small growing plant, with deep burgundy colored, green speckled leaves. Makes a nice clump in a pot or basket. Very pretty.

A small upright, stoloniferous species who’s chief value is as a botanical because it lacks many decorative qualities. However, I and many others feel that a species plant doesn't have to be beautiful to be appreciated, and that little plants like this have their own charm. Makes a decorative cluster, good for hanging pot culture.

A stunning colorful small-grower which, by all accounts, appears to be a species form of Aechmea recurvata, not a hybrid. 

An impressive giant growing recently described species from Bahia.  The foliage resembles somewhat the more familiar Alc. imperialis, but it is leafier and the leaves are narrower.  The inflorescence is stunning, very tall with showy red scape bracts and yellow branches only at the top of the scape.  The branches continue to elongate throughout the blooming period, eventually drooping.

An excellent smaller-growing-than-usual form of Neo compacta. The plants are ideally suited to growing in baskets or for mounting, quickly forming showy clusters with their stout stolons. Foliage is compact, light green, spineless and develops a deep red center flush when blooming. Ideal for terrariums.

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.
