Neos are blooming

My batch of neoregelias from Bangkok are starting to bloom. That means I will have pups to enlarge the collection. Great!
I noticed signs of approaching blooms several weeks ahead when the center leaves of the plants turned to look more elevated and solid in color.




After my vacation, here's what I've found on the plants.






I hope the mother plants will linger on for some time and give me more pups than one, like their cousin B. Pyramidalis!
