While sorting out a batch of seedlings today, I came across this seedling out of a batch of Aechmea nudicaulis var. aqualis x Neoregelia correia-araujoi.

The cross was done in Jan Â07 both ways just see what would happen. No seed set on the neo c-a, but seed did set on my marked berries of the aechmea, the problem was that the aechmea set seed on every berry, so is obviously a self pollinator!
I grew a batch on from the marked berries anyway to see how they would turn out. They were left at the back of my growing area, & forgotten about until todays sort out, & the flower spike of this one below from the same batch caught my eye. ItÂs obviously Aech. nudicaulis var aqualis.

And a couple of others from the batch. These have the nudicaulis Âkink but have not developed the aqualis colouring as yet, maybe they were in too much shade?

I was initially doutfull of any chance of the plant in 1st picÂs being a bigeneric, however, the fact that it has a more open form, & no sign of the typical nudicaulis kink makes me thinkÂwell maybe thereÂs a chanceÂ
HereÂs a pic comparing the possible bigeneric (left) to the standard aechmea types (right) from the same seedling batch.

What do you think? Do I just have to wait until it flowers?
