Neoregelia Misfit
2009 Unregistered.
Purchased at Hunter Bromeliad Show 11/08 and seems to be in many collections.
Sold as Neo. Tiger Cub "Misfit", but appears to be intermediate between Neo. Red Waif and ampullacea !
I am attempting to get it better identified, if anyone has more information - please contact me.

"Mature tubular rosette to 12cm. diameter x 12cm. high, flaring at the top. Bronze green scurfed leaves speckled brick red with punctated red cross-banding. Ascending stolons to 15cm. long. Ampullacea Group. Possibly one of the variable, numerous variants of Neoregelia 'Tiger Cub' which was a grex name with numbered clones only. However, it has been in circulation as N. "Tiger Cub Misfit". Bill Morris ? 1980's?
