A spectacular cultivar of (carolinae x fosteriana) x carcharodon by Chester Skotak. A large growing plant with gracefully arching 3½ inch wide leaves in a 30 inch rosette. The background color is dark brown to almost black, with pink variegation. Numerous red specks are scattered evenly over leaf, and a dusting of silvers trichomes gives the plant a matte finish. Relatively large marginal spines are soft and match the color of the leaf. Color flush at anthesis is minimal, slightly reddish.

An Australian hybrid from Shane Zaghini, Neoregelia 'Spotted Night' is a loose rosette to 12 inches, with fairly broad green leaves, strongly banded below with dark purple.

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.

An uncommon plant that is not yet widely represented in collections, Neoregelia x correiaaraujoi albomarginated is an enigmatic species considered by some to be a natural hybrid of Neo. johannis and marmorata. It is, however, listed in the binomials and is still an ‘official’ species.

A large growing plant from the southern regions of the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, the rosette can be nearly 4 feet across with leaves 6 inches wide, light green with red mottling, pale above, stronger below, and red leaf tips. In bright light or even full sun it becomes much more compact.

Our clone is a albomarginated, with a wide creamy white stripe up the leaf margins.
