Neoregelia 'Rio Ocher' x olens 'Vulcan'
1724
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.
Crassula sarmentosa 'Comet'

Formerly Crassula sarmentosa variegated, this cultivar has a scrambling growth habit and is a great choice for a hanging basket. The plant has reddish stems which carry oval green serrated leaves with creamy yellow margins that will turn pinkish red in strong light. Colorful and easy.
I like the colors of this plant and I hope to see it grow and eventually grow enough to move to a bigger pot. So far so good. I see tiny little leaves sprouting. Hope to get some other plants soon. Tropiflora has so many plants to choose from. Keep up the good work!
