Hi...I vote for Neo Olens Group.

Yep, I second that vote for the olens group.

My first guess would have been 'Noble Descent' but then your plant maybe a little too small to match the typical ND.

If by "olens group" you mean an olens hybrid (not the species), then I'll go along with that. Sorry, don't know which one, though.

Hi Matt, I have a plant very much like yours labeled - olens x Vulcan
Size, shape & colour seem a very close match.

Cheers Richard

Thankyou all very much for all the quick replies.

An Olens Hybrid makes alot of sense as i've continued to read that my first guess being 'Queen of Spots' is un an Olens v ?unknown? Hybrid which could possibly be vulcan as you've said Richard. If you have time I would love to see a picture of your brom Richard.

Cheers and thankyou all again.

An interesting article on this/these Neos at FCBS, from BSI Journal pages 167 - 170 1986, with due credit to all quoted authors!

Luther says: "I have examined '696' and one other unnamed clone of N. olens. The unnamed clone and '696' appear to be conspecific with 'Vulcan' meaning that they differ in characters that are of no real biological significance. They vary in the same way that D. Butcher and I vary. 'Vulcan', '696', and the third clone are all, as far as I am concerned, Neoregelia olens."

My notes on my plant refer me to the BSI Cultivar Registry where the name N Olens Group "Covers all cultivars that look like olens."
