The Neoregelia 'Groves Cotton Candy' pup on the left stands out from it's litter mate with green freckles.

Pretty! I like the soft colors of that one!

I like Cotton Candy


My Aechmea phanerophlebia is flowering, it has had an offset growing for almost a year, leaves get a red coloring when we cool down some.

Sherri, that is a pretty plant and oh my ... look at those teeth!!!

Yep, that one is a biter, you know I like teeth, comes from my succulent days in S. Calif.

First time seeing this phenomenon. 😎
Looks like this Billbergia 'Kyoto' heard my complaints on the all to quick flowering and decided to give seconds.

Ae. 'Lucky Strike' (or 'Lucky Stripe?) in bloom.

Gina, that looks like Bromeliad (Aechmea gamosepala 'Lucky Stripes')

Here is what I have as Aechmea gamosepala 'Lucky Stripes'.


Lin, The Neoregelia 'Lucky Strike' as registered (BCR) looks entirely different, having yellow green leaves with red lineations and stripes on 4" wide leaves. It is said that it loses the striping as it comes into flowering and the plant becomes coral red.

Wow, that is totally awesome, I've been told it happens sometimes.

Thanks for the nut too.

It was totally new and a surprise sighting for me. I had never heard of it before.
Learn something new all the time.

A cool morning is warmed by the sight of Neoregelia 'Blazing Fire'

On my list now for a must have.

55F this morning, and two nights this past week upper 50's, I'm seeing some color changes already in my bromeliads.

Pretty color!!!

I took a chance an ordered a 'Pemiento' from a sort of unusual site but I am more than pleased with the plant that arrived today. It is a large offset with a large mass of roots. The pot in the picture flares out at the top, it is about 8" across so you can get an idea how large the plant is.

Has anyone else ever ordered from these folks?

I have not but have looked at the site before.
