Neoregelia 'Tiger Cub'
4475
A cultivar of ampullacea x tigrina by W. Morris. This is a great little plant with the characteristics that make it hot for hybridizers. A miniature, about 6 inches tall in an upright, stoloniferous rosette, with light green leaves heavily barred below with dark reddish-maroon.
The bars and bands show through the leaf from below. The green base color will turn yellow with strong light and the red bands become much brighter too. The plant was a favorite of our late friend Wally Berg.
Super high quality as usual! First bromeliads I purchased that are potted plants. I Usually purchase unrooted pups. Very nice & big growing plants!
Neoregelia 'Tunisia'
254
A clone of ('Hannibal Lecter' x punctatissima rubra) by Chester Skotak. A highly marked, medium grower to about 16 inches across, with fairly stiff arching leaves that are heavily armed with stout spines. The color is glossy green with a veneer of reddish-brown, broken cross bands and spots on both sides of the leaves. There is no doubt a story behind the name.
