Neoregelia 'Gusto' CHINA but we have found thatA hybrid by Rafael de Faria of Rio is a beauty but of unreported parentage. A medium sized rosette of broad leaves (almost 3 inches) is about 10 inches high by 20 inches across. Very brightly colored; glossy magenta with a pink wash and light green spots and color breaks overall. The leaves have bright white, wide margins that blush pink. At anthesis the cup flushes red. Produces offsets before blooming. A choice plant.
