A brilliantly white margined form of Neo. compacta. A stoloniferous plant to 20 inches or so, light green, blushing brilliant red in the center when in bloom. Great for direct mounting in trees in subtropical locations or for a really different hanging basket subject. Once very rare and very expensive, it is nothing if not prolific.

An as yet unnamed cross of Neoregelia ‘Rio Ocher’ x olens ‘Vulcan’ is an apple green plant with a vivid red center flush at anthesis. The inch and a half wide leaves are somewhat thick and leathery and the marginal spines are small. It develops some red cross-banding on the leaves which become more pronounced with strong light or when grown “harder”. Offsets are on short stolons and the plant is good for mounting and for terrarium use.
