I've had 'Rex' and 'Eva' at different times,and I think you have a winner there,bringing out the best traits of each.A really colorful inflorescence,orange/red. Nice!
Bob

very nice color

Kudos.

Looks like a keeper to me!

I don't know the Vrieseas well enough to know how close it might be to some other registered cvs, but I imagine you've already compared it to what's on FCBS. It's definitely worth propagating in any event.

I've been out of the loop for awhile, but it looks like it has a very nice inflorescence to me. I don't remember having or seeing any Vrieseas with an inflorescence that nice, too bad the foliage is so plain, sorry, I like colorful foliage. I loved the group photo that Lisa posted in another thread, and would love to find a plant like that. But I wouldn't mind owning one like yours either.

Very nice coloring, love orange inflorescence!

Would like to see another photo later on when the branching may get more extended,and flower petals appear,probably a shade of yellow,or an orange/yellow ?

I appreciate the feedback from everyone. I've tried to pay close attention to the fcbs website, and especially the DeRooses with all their new Vriesea hybrids. Most similar plant I've seen is a Vr. 'Poelmanii' x 'Crawdad' cross made by Grant Groves that I picked up last year. It's a bit smaller plant than mine, with a more compact, branched, and very colorful inflorescence. Here's a picture of it.

Bambi, I'm sorry for the plain foliage, too! I had one plant out of the grex with the discolor foliage from 'Eva' and a pretty, branched red inflorescence. A really attractive color combination. Sadly, the quality of the branching was not very nice. I'm holding on to a second generation though, just in case it was just poor culture on my part the first time around!

I like the shape of the bracts on yours better, Paul. That's the first thing that caught my eye, it has kind of a "scalloped" look, for lack of a better word. The distribution of color is a bit different too, even though the general color scheme is about the same.

I say register it!

Any suggestions for a name? That's always the most difficult part of the registration process!

My first thought was for a name that suggests that it looks like its on-fire.
so, 'Fire Flame' is one,or perhaps 'Flim-Flame' ;)

"Dreamsicle"

hdd, I actually had the name 'Creamsicle' for a fleeting moment go through my mind, so maybe we're on the right track. I think I like your suggestion even better, though. :-)
I'll have to check the cultivar register and make sure either name is available.

I did check but only that spelling of Deamsicle ..GMTA :)
