Neoregelia 'Takemura Grande' x 'Takemura Princeps'. The legendary 'Takemura's' from the 1978 article that James Elmore wrote in volume #1, issue #1 of Grande Magazine. Although the origin and history of the cross is still debated, the story is that it was in the early 1960's when apparently, seed of a concentrica Hybrid was sent to Takemura in Japan from Richter in Germany. Takemura in turn shared seed or seedlings with Ralph Davis in Florida.
