| It is most likely Billbegia Louise which is a cultivar of distachia var maculata... I was on the right track Apparently the pink isn't always a stable colour and all the pics I saw didn't have any pink so confused me. | |

| It is a good site Gwen, spent ages going through it the other day... nearly went cross-eyed... and gave myself a headache Have a look and see all the neoregelia cultivars - there is only 3820 of them | |

| Gail I can't remember ever seeing one like it. It may be a an unregistered hybrid ...then you may have something nobody else has. | |

| Marlene, it's Billbergia Louise. You can see it here about half way down the page http://www.tropiflora.com/creport/cr14-2/p4.html | |
