Neoregelia carolinae ‘Tricolor’ Blushing bromeliad
Neoregelias are members of the bromeliad family, and are from eastern Brazil. This cultivated variety is not found in the wild. Plants: Plants are up to 1½′ (45 cm) high and about the same in diameter. They like wet, hot, sunlit conditions. Leaves: Leaves are waxy, long, narrow, and pointed, about 1′ (30 cm) × 1-1½″ (2.5-3.8 cm), green-edged, with cream/green stripes along their length.. They emerge from the center of the plant, which lacks a stem (acaulescent). At flowering time, the centers of these plants become brilliant red. Flowers: Like most neoregelias, these are not known for their flowers, which are inconspicuous. This is unusual, in that most bromeliads have prominent flowers. Online References:
