*VIPP plants are Offsets

A hybrid of Neoregelia ‘Bobby Dazzler’ x johannis ‘DeRolf’ by Ray Coleman that is a wide-leaved, full rosette to about 25 inches across and 16 to 18 inches tall. Four inch wide leaves are dark magenta red all over with many small green spots and specks and red leaf tips margined with black spines. Leaf undersides are dull gray. Center flush at anthesis is red, but blends in with the already red leaves. Best in bright light out of direct sun. A choice specimen for patio or landscape and new for collectors as well.

*VIPP plants are Offsets

This is a 2007 cultivar of ‘Durrell’ x ‘San Juan’ by Stephen Hoppin.  The shape is a loose rosette up to 10 inches tall and 24 inches across with shiny green leaves that are wavy with serrated edges.  The leaves have an olive green color that has a hint of bronze along the edge and slight scurfing on the underside of the leaves.

*VIPP plants are Offsets

A somewhat variable species that is not widely cultivated, but definitely has merit. A medium sized plant that can reach about 24 inches across with inch and a half wide leaves that bear deep purple, apiculate tips, rimmed in pink. The color is dependent on light intensity, but in bright shade, it is yellowish and pinkish at the same time, rather unusual.

This is a clone collected in Brazil by Wally Berg and John Anderson and bears their code of (BAB 235).

*VIPP plants are Offsets

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.

Obviously a very confusing species. Little resembling the ‘true’ species plant, this one from the Selby collection has glossy lime-green leaves mottled and barred with reddish-chestnut, stronger below and lighter above. 6 inch rosettes form clusters on short stolons.

*VIPP plants are Offsets

A species from Tamaulipas state of Mexico. An easy to grow species that forms large, silvery-scurfy rosettes. Oddly, the offsets come off with soft, glabrous leaves, developing the scurfy appearance that protects them from the sun, as they mature. The narrow, spiny leaves are rather soft (for a Hechtia) and the tips naturally die back and curl.

A uncommon species that is not found in many plant collections. It originates in Minas Gerais, Brazil growing on rocky outcroppings. The color can vary from gray to silver with hints of red. The mature size is 10 to 12 inches across.
