602 - Bromeliads (Garden) - 2007-09-08

Neoregelia sp.

Fotograaf: Uwe Scharf
Opmerking: I was watching this plant already for some years in the Bot Garden in Utrecht
and it was extremely interesting to me because such a huge plant should be
known to Ecuador. Finally I got a “cutting” of about 80 cm high in May 2007,
put it in a 12 cm pot (looks funny) and hung it up in my garden in half shade,
at least protected from direct sunlight during noon. During the last 3 months
it showed some new growth at the inner leaves and, what a surprise, it
developed a pattern on the leaves that was already faintly visible at some
exposed parts of the plant in the Bot Garden in Utrecht (see photo) and what is
similar to the pattern of N. marmorata. In my mind I made a guess how the plant
could look like when it was grown in full sun for some years and it kicked me
out of my socks (sorry for that 1:1 German-English translation) when this
virtual picture in my brain was matched 100% by a picture from a saleswoman on
the internet (see attached picture) who is selling their plants in Ceasa
Campinas in the Market of Flowers. I got in contact with the saleswoman and she
told me that the plant is frequently found in the Serra da Bocaina, Eastern
Brazil. They sell it under the name Neoregelia johannis. Would this be the
right name for that plant in Utrecht? If yes, then the collection site in
Ecuador, W of Loja, Catamayo should be revised.
