Neoregelia species Sao Sebastio SP
6838
This an as yet unidentified Neoregelia species from Sao Sebastiao, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Wish we knew what this one is, it’s a beauty. Still undescribed, it has a resemblance to chlorosticta, but is not. An upright rosette of apple-green leaves, mottled with white, pink and red, with bright red tips. Pretty and unusual. Hopefully it will one day be described as a new species.
Neoregelia ampullacea
688
Small stoloniferous plants, green with red spots. Can take on an overall reddish hue in bright conditions. Great for terrariums and hanging pots.
Neoregelia pauciflora x wilsoniana
2197
Clustering bronzy-yellow upright plants about 10 inches tall, with narrowly tapering leaves much like the wilsoniana parent. The plants have dark maroon banding and much reddish speckling.
Neoregelia 'Fireball' striated
4501
The famous glossy red, compact growing, stoloniferous plant in a striated form, with leaves lightly striped with white lines. Great for hanging pots or mounting.
Vriesea botafogensis
4443
An interesting and rare plant from the exposed granite cliffs at the entrance to Guanabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Resembling the much more familiar Vr. saundersii, it is smaller, about 6 inches across, with deeply recurving, broad, leathery leaves that are heavily speckled with red below and sparingly above. The inflorescence is a panicle of dense yellow branches on a 12 inch scape.
Vriesea fenestralis
520
This Brazilian beauty is a splendid foliage plant with wide light green leaves, finely lineated and reticulated with green and spotted with red. The shape is a full, open rosette to over 24 inches with leaves that gracefully curl down toward their tips. Even though it reaches a large size, young plants are great for terrariums.

Encholirium diamantinum
473
The plant size is good and all are worth the price.
Neoregelia 'Okapi'
2658
A miniature hybrid from Vinzant is a cultivar of ‘Screaming Tiger’ x ‘Doodlebug’. The plant is vase shaped with a slightly flaring top. The color is a deep chocolate burgundy with yellow banding, with the leaf axils almost solid yellow. The banding seems to be in the middle portion of the plant. There is no color change at anthesis. Offsets before anthesis, with offsets on stolons.

Neoregelia martinellii (Green)
2194
A small upright, stoloniferous species who’s chief value is as a botanical because it lacks many decorative qualities. However, I and many others feel that a species plant doesn't have to be beautiful to be appreciated, and that little plants like this have their own charm. Makes a decorative cluster, good for hanging pot culture.
Aechmea nudicaulis Veracruz
4500
A clone from near Huatusco, Veracruz, Mexico, approaching the northern limit of this far ranging species. Smaller than most in the species, averaging about 12 to 14 inches tall. Coloration is uniform green with faint silver banding on the leaf undersides and it bears pronounced black spines. Bloom is like that of a 'typical' nudicaulis.
