• The Bromeliad Neoregelia 'Donna' is a popular cultivar of Bromeliad in the Neoregelia genus. It is an epiphyte in its native habitat, meaning it naturally grows on other plants (like trees) for support, not as a parasite. The parent species of Neoregelia are native to the rainforests of South America, specifically Brazil.
  
  'Donna' is highly valued for its striking rosette of leaves, which are typically deep green towards the outer edges but feature an intense splash of pink to reddish-purple color concentrated in the central cup (or "tank"). Unlike some bromeliads known for tall flower spikes, the main attraction of Neoregelia 'Donna' is the dramatic color change in the central leaves (bracts), which intensifies just before and during blooming.
