- Opmerking (7653): Rick Martin (2011-09-26) - The blue flowers appear to suggest its N.crunta. After re-reading "Gallery 3272"
- Opmerking (7653): Rick Martin (2011-09-26) - That is Neo 1834
- Determinatie (7653): Uwe (2011-09-27) =Neoregelia cruenta
- This is, no doubt, N. cruenta. The plant shown on photo 1834 (+/-) is flowering white and has more robust spines. To me, 1834 is a N. correia-araujoi because of the white flowers and the blotchy reddish pattern on the leaves. If somebody has a "real" N. johannis, please let me know. I am urgently searching for one ... (Verzonden: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
- Opmerking (7653): Uncle Derek (2011-09-28) - Most likely a hybrid because you have no provenance. In the 1990's very few growers in the USA or Australia knew what a Neo johannis looked like even though plants were being grown under this name. The same applied to Neo cruenta and in more recent times Neo correia-araujoi. In other words you can blame indiscriminate seed raising from wrongly identified mothers and possibly foreign pollen.. A good way to pick a Neo johannis is to look at 'DeRolf' without the variegation. BUT then if you can link your plant to Weber you may have Neo richteri! (Verzonden: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
- Opmerking (7653): Richard Martin (2011-09-28) - As to provenance my neighbour Heinz Schwendener tells me he obtained the original ramet in Costa Rica, and hand baggaged it over to Madeira.
