We are not quite sure that there is an interesting story behind the name of this Chester Skotak hybrid, but I am just as happy to not know what it is. This handsome, robust grower is a cross of a selected dark clone of Aechema fendleri with the fabulously popular Aechmea ‘Blue Tango’. The result is a stunning, variegated plant with red tinted foliage and a spectacular blue and pink inflorescence.

A beautiful red foliaged form of Nudicaulis from the vicinity of Martinhos-Morretes, Parana, Brazil. Compact, upright rosettes of broad leaves that are stiff, blunt and glossy are colored medium green with a red wash and a veneer of dark burgundy in bands and streaks. The leaf undersides have a grayish wash. The inflorescence is bright yellow with flaming red bracts, very showy. Very stoloniferous and thrives mounted. Looks great in a hanging basket too.
