That sure looks a lot like Neo. 'Gazpacho' (or 'Gespacho'), gonz. Are you 100% on the name?

I've heard of Billbergia 'Borracho'...

How about some eye candy? Check out the FCBS photo index of Neo. Razzberry Ripple 'grace' x 'lolita' by Michael Kiehl or check out some of freeman's work..like 'freemans pride' etc. ...WOW I like bromeliads!... Peggy

Thanks for setting me straight on that Lisa. I must have been 'Boracho' when I posted! ;-)
It is indeed Gespacho. Plants named for cold soups and drunks?

Well, there IS cold soup in the center cup, gonzer, but you'd have to be borracho to make a meal of it, so it all makes perfect sense to me!

Ha, when I looked at that photo, I thought 'Borracho' had to be a relative of my 'Gespacho' (why isn't it spelled 'Gazpacho'?). Pero es lo mismo. Nice photo. Mine hasn't bloomed, but maybe I should look!! It does have one pup...

Yeah, it eally should be 'Gazpacho', Kim, but what do you do when the person who named it misspells the word? The FCBS also lists it as 'Gespacio' and I've also seen 'Gazpachio'.

There are a lot of them like that. Ae. 'Suenios' and Neo. 'Hojo Rojo' come to mind. That last one drives me particularly nuts because if you pronounce it like a Howard Johnson's people think you're ignorant, but if you give it a Spanish pronunciation it's just wrong. Should have been 'Hoja Roja' or maybe 'Ojo Rojo'?

As if Latin twern't bad enough!!!!!
