This is one good pink that can take direct sun!  My Neo Kautskyii has lost it's yellow and is now greenish with a yellow undertone  In comparison the vrieseas are doing pretty alright... V. Fenestralis (Michael)  V. Red Chestnut (tropiflora)  |

Your plants do look OK. Except for a bit of bleached leaves for several less tolerant varieties.
This is before or after the neglected part? They have colored up.
Is that Midnight or Nelson in the upper left of the first pic? It can get darker tho.
You Purplestar is just nice. I see why you complained about your Haniball Lector. It will look better if there are few more rows of leaves. Too bad it flowered!
Your Treasure Chest has nice color.
Yang should need brighter place. I see broad variegation coming out. A sign of maturity. Give it another year. It'll grow to a specimen plant. Very nice.
I think your fenestralis need brighter location to bring out it's tessalations. red chestnut is OK.
Audrey, They are all very nice. Just try to prevent them from flowering for another year and you'll have great plants. I'll try to post a few of mine as a suggestion. Currently I'm out of town.

Saw your Barbarian (if I'm not mistaken) in one of your earlier posting. Surprisingly this plant can tolerate certain amount of full sun. Train it and it'll look like this:  My Maria Veronica is showing some sign of over fertilisation. See the few striated green patches. That's cholorophyll patch, not anthocyanin patch.  Will try to post more after I get back home. |

Wow Andy!! Your Barbarian is how I want mine to be... but it just keeps pupping and never matures!! Unfortunately the first few photos are how the neos used to look... and a reminder of why I fell in love with Broms in the first place...hahaha My N. Purple Star has grow alot since I got it from Michael and it is under filtered light   This is N. Gypsy Lady- doing alright by far  Look at my Pink Sensation x Royal Burgundy now...  I have another cluster of Hannibal Lector from Tropi  Fungus left quite unsightly marks on some plants and now my N.lila is really hideous!  |

Now I understand........Your Purple Star seems to be bleached for a certain time. Then it was malnurished (obviously seen from the very short and thin leaves at the middle section).
You are getting some color back. Keep it in brightly filtered lights. The colors will develope further to bright purplish pink. Try to give some pure K occasionally to streghten the leaves. Your plant will be good by year's end.
FYI, now Pink Sensation X Royal Burgundy is called as Treasure Chest. It has gving you a pup. Usually pup will have elongated leaves.
No offence about your Hannibal Lector. Too many pups! I never have this, but read that it can withstandfull sun.
Are you sure that is Lila? Totally different.!!!! Thought it suppose to look pink?
Yes. It love to throw a lot of pups. Try cutting off any emerging pup to get a good form of Barbarian. This does help.

Now you people are really poisonous. I can't get the images of colourful broms off my head now.
I ran out of space for them already. Will get more when I have my own garden.

Not so in broms. Like musaceae family. They love K. I find that the greatest influence are light exposure (daylight duration) and temperature factors. Neos are OK with high K content but one have to be careful with Guz. The plant might go into mutation. Before looking further down at the pictures..........They came with a WARNING!Watch at your own risk! Might cause eye damage and color blindness. Potentially intoxicating. Here's my Yang. Mine is about 80% of it's full potential. By right the variegated part should blush with red. Still working on it.  Lorena. Still under training. Half of the leaves length should turn deep red.  Castigado. Big enough for training and hardening.  Linda Cathcart. A mature plant. I'm waiting for it to flower!  Blushing Tiger. Too bad. So few stripes. Mebbe it's too blushed to show its stripes!  Lou Wilson. My fav. but still young.  Medusae. A miniature. A bit shaded. Can turn fire red if given good sunlight.  I lost id. of this plant. Probably a fireball hybrid. Miniature too.  Fenestralis under bright diffused light.  Epiphytic flammea. Behave like a Tillandsia!  |

Thanks Hongrui! Nothing compared to your fantastic pitchers.
I am looking forward to the SGF next year too.. Hopefully more international exhibitors will come, including Tropiflora.
I thought there was an MO going to Tropi not long ago at GCS?

The reason why I posted my picts. is to show you how wonderful these plants are. Don't give up hope on them especially those good hybrids.
Issac. No we're not playing poker. Audrey was having some trouble with her Neos. I'm just helping her up. Also Khairi has been persuading me to post more broms pict. from collection.
Khairi.....finally here they are. More to come.
