| i picked this neo up at a roadside nursery near sarasota FL. they only sold really common bromeliads at very inexpensive prices. they had billbergia pyramidalis, billbergia fosters striate, ae bracteata, and this neoregelia. im betting its a common variety, but id like to know its name. here is a topview with red pruners for scale. its a pretty hefty plant
help? anyone? |
Here is a link that might be useful: pic of unknown neo

| Hayes, that's a hybrid of Neo. spectabilis x marmorata (or vice versa). It seems to be fairly common in FL, but I don't know if it has a name in the US. There's an Aussie cv. of the same cross called 'Julian Nally', which was grown from seed sent to Australia by Nally (read article on link). I don't think it would qualify as the same clone, but it's pretty darn close. |
