This beautiful red bromeliad grows in a rosette, with a candy apple color centre. It appeared in my mulch and love the intense color so I had them growing in my landscape for many years believing them to be a big Neoregelia, until it flowers.. It has solid red floral brackF with light yellow flowers. It does very well in bright light and does tolerate full summer sun here in west Florida.In full sun it will turn more green and yellow. I have shared it with many colleagues and everyone say that is definitely a Portea hybrid. They are very easy to identify because of the apple green centre Country of origin: Florida USA
