Hi everyone – Time to once again move on to some different plants, this time those with names starting with the letter “J”. This wasn’t as easy for me as first thought as I only have four in my whole collection with names starting with "J", so I doubled up with one and showed the plant as well as a shot of the flowers.

Another picture is not of my plant but one I thought I should share. It is Neo. ‘Jack Koning’ and was bred by S. Chayangsu a well known hybrisist in Thailand and named in honour of Jack Koning who is a well-known Australian hybridizer mainly known for his 244 registered hybrids of quality patterned leaf vrieseas, but also has 13 Cryptanthus, and 6 Neoregelias also registered to his name as well as the beautiful Aechmea ‘Darth Vader’ http://registry.bsi.org/?fields=&id=12091&search=koning and BILLBERGIA ‘Pink Stardust’ http://registry.bsi.org/?fields=&id=12608&search=koning

Anyway, enough of the introduction, let's look at the pic's.
