I've been trying to ID this brom, some sort of Bilbergia cultivar I presume, possibly a Billbergia distachia cv, but I have been through the brom.org site and partly through the FCBS site and can't find it. I'm trying to save having to click on 380 different cultivars on the FCBS site so would greatly appreciate it if anyone knows it?

It is most likely Billbegia Louise which is a cultivar of distachia var maculata... I was on the right track winky-winky 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 Ack Have a look and see all the neoregelia cultivars - there is only 3820 of them gasp

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.
