A species Dyckia from a rock outcropping in the cerrado, Brazil endemic to the state of Goyas. This was a special cultivar selected by Bill Baker for having pink spines.

A very fine smaller species with thickly succulent, very silvery to almost fuzzy leaves. Native to Southwestern Mexico, this clone is one from the collection of Ruby Ryde in Australia. A very nice, compact clone with very thick, silvery-white leaves. This species is easy to grow, will mature in a 6 inch pot but would do best in a larger container as the plant will form a cluster with time. The inflorescence is pink to purplish and plants are either male or female.

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.

Another one of Bryan Windham's bi-generic hybrid. This one is Puya laxa x Deuterocohnia brevispicata.  Medium green recurving leaves that have silver scurf and leaf imprints. Noticeable red hooked spines are along the leaf edges. Our plants are still growing so we do not know what the mature size of this plant will be. Grows best in bright filtered light.

Long known as Hechtia species Huamelula, this rare and beautiful species has been around for about thirty years but never common. It lives only very high on cliff faces in Huamelula Canyon of Oaxaca, Mexico where it is rare and difficult to access. The plants form rosettes up to 15 inches or more across with very broad, heavily scurffed, thickly succulent leaves that recurve at the tips. Very large marginal spines give the leaf margins a scalloped look. Now newly described as H. lanata. A slow grower that is very seldom available.

*VIPP plants are seed-grown

A medium large growing plant. Wide green leaves with gray scurf and large spines. Grows best in bright light to full sun.

*PRICE DROP!

Native to Costa Rica, Panama and Ecuador, it makes it’s home in moist forests, growing as an epiphyte or saxicole on moss-covered limbs and rocks. A soft leaved Racinaea with light green leaves in an open rosette, spotted at the base with purple. The inflorescence is branched, with dry, brownish bracts, but sports large white, very fragrant flowers. Culture is easy in shaded locations, potted in moist media or mounted and watered daily.

*MUST BE SHIPPED IMMEDIATELY 

An Australian bi-generic hybrid by Paul Borland. The parentage is Dyckia Cherry Coke x Deuterocohnia brevispicata. The thick leaves are narrow, recurving, thick and blood red in color with distinct red spines. The reverse side of the leaves is scurfed greyish white. Grows to 16 inches across.

A unusual bi-generic hybrid from Bryan Windham. The parentage is Aechmea chantinii "Deleon' x Sincoraea ulei.  Mature, open rosette to 50cm. diameter. In the advanced juvenile stage, this cultivar has star-like, plain silvery grey-green, prickly leaves with sharp pointed tips. At blooming, it produces a flat, bright salmon red, pin cushion-like inflorescence with an inner corolla of yellow leaves, extending outwards to fiery orange sections and outer leaves turn burnished maroon.

A fairly large grower, to about 12 inches across, with very wide recurving leaves and serrate spines resembling the marnierlapostolle parent.  Colors range from reddish with white spines to all silver. Outstanding silver beauties! Some have serrate spines resembling the marnierlapostolle parent, others have larger, stouter ones.
