A pretty plant from Peru with greyish-green leaves and a single stem that bears pink flowers.

An all-time favorite from Brazil is about 6 inches across in a leafy rosette with stiff gray-green leaves. It produces a stunning blue-flowered, plume-shaped pink inflorescence in the summer. In nature this plant can be found growing on the restinga sands of beach dunes and in trees in the foothills of the Atlantic Range in Brazil.

We received these plants as straight Tillandsia seleriana but quickly realized there was something different about them. After further research we have decided the plant to be Tillandsia 'Selerepton', a hybrid of Tillandsia seleriana x streptophylla. Our plants grow to about 12 inches in height before blooming.

Our expert tillandsia grower spotted this clone mixed in with our very first batch of Tillandsia 'Eric Knobloch' and has been growing it, aside, for years. We finally separated it from the named hybrid and gave it it's own name. This clone of brachycaulos x streptophylla is darker and more purple and just slightly smaller in size. An open rosette of light green, curling, silvery dusted leaves form a somewhat bulbous base. An inflorescence that has long, dark lavender blushing bracts and a tight cluster of violet branches rises about 5 inches above the foliage. A handsome, easy to grow and prolific plant. 

Native to the dry woods and scrub of northwest Mexico.

Tillandsia chiapensis x 'Tropiflora'

A Mexican species from Sinaloa state, our plant is a piece of the type plant collected by Harry Luther in 1993 and described in 1997. A clumping 'needle leaved' species that closely resembles the Florida endemic simulata. Tapering leaves are quite succulent and densely lepidote. The inflorescence is about as long as the foliage with up to six branches, silvery lepidote over green and bearing tubular purple flowers. Found in clusters growing on Bombax trees at about 3,500 feet of altitude.

A large growing and spectacular hybrid by John Arden is a cultivar of (jalisco monticola x roland-gosselinii). A graceful, arching rosette of narrow, silvery leaves, reaching over 24 inches in diameter. The inflorescence is a tall scape to over 2 feet tall, with a cluster of inflated branches, red on the bottom becoming green on top. Very showy and long lasting in bloom. 

A cultivar of the cross (‘Houston’ x leonamiana) by Paul Isley. A large growing beauty that exceeds the size of either parent plant, with many more leaves and a larger inflorescence. Very leafy, with literally hundreds of narrow, silvery leaves in a full rosette. The inflorescence has rose bracts and white flowers and is stunning. This is a truly spectacular plant that deserves its name! 

This is the darkest form of T. aeranthos with dark gray leaves that can turn almost black in certain conditions.
