Hi everyone, aveo5, If you access the address that HDD has shown above you will open up the site of the FCBS (Florida Council of Bromeliad Societies. )This is a fantastic site which has an amazing Photo Index which is an invaluable tool for researching information about the identity and history of thousands of individual bromeliads. On the left hand side of the home page there is a list of the various sections. Scroll down to "Photo Index" and open it up. This is a photographic record showing thousands of pictures of the various bromeliad genera both species and cultivars. Scroll down to Neoregelia and open it up, then select cultivars from the top of the list and another list of most of the registered cultivars, in alphabetical order will appear. Select the letter "D" (for Donger) and scroll down till you find the name, hit the "enter" key and the picture will be shown along with what is known of its parentage. There are two Neo's of this name shown. One is spelt "Donger" and the other "Donga" and they both look totally different. All the best, Nev.

Hi...looking good those cruenta! Great plants for full sun in my region. I have re-labeled my previously tagged cruenta rubra to N. Monstrosus, after reading Derek Butcher's article on FCBS. IF & ONLY IF; 'they have silvery bands on both sides of the leaves.' Here is a link that might be useful: Neo Monstrosus

Hi Bromadams, My guess is neo. marmorata or a hybrid with marmorata in it's make up. Dooley

Hi Dooley Your 1st plant looks similar to a plant I have here with Neo. Cracklin' Red on the tag, guess only no history for you. The 2nd plant looks like a Neo. Takemura or a hybrid of, needing more light. Will e-mail you a photo if you need for confirmation. Pinkbroms
