I am really bad at bromeliad names, this one is full grown
ID please
Here is another one I can not find the name too, it's huge and in a 3 gallon pot in the picture. It does have a white flower.
Hi pA, the first one is a Neoregelia, probly a Carolinae hybrid. I'll have a look through the FBS site when I've got time and get back to you on it.
Can you describe the white flower of the second one for me? Is it on a long stem or short? shape of flowering head , ie; paddle, funnel, round, spike? Is it a long lasting flower?
Are the leaves a bit softer than the first brom?
Your plants look extremely healthy and are huge! Well done!

Ok here is a picture of a 'new' flower, short & fills out just like any Neo flower, the leaves are rather soft for being such a big brom but it does have teeth shown in the picture. The plant itself is still alive and flowering just as long as any Neo , but our heavy rains have taken a toll on it. The leaves to me are not 'solid green'. Thank you for the nice comment, being here is Florida, I can not keep up with all the Hybrids and its hard to sell them with no name. If you ask me...its a mess. I will be listing a few more Bromelaids for ID's, hoping someone knows something :) At least what it could have been crossed with.....
Thank you for all your help, because I really do not know where to start.
Yeah, sorry, I wasn't sure if it was a Neo or maybe a Nidularium, or other, but Neo it is.
I spend alot of time looking at Bromeliads on Ebay australia to get a start in the right direction for names. I also check the FBS site, and spend hours scrolling through pictures, and sometimes I get lucky, but the Neos go on forever! And Yes, soooo many hybrids!
Feel free to ask for more ID's, I like to research broms, but if you have Non-Neo's, you'll need to have a pic of the flower (usually)

just came accross this one and it looks like yours? It's not on the FBS site though, so unsure if the name is right. The seller is a good seller though.
That looks pretty close! Anything is better then nothing at this point and I will make note of it, Thank you. I hoped the picture of the flower on the big green one with fingernails helps too.
I will post more broms in another thread. ;)
