Tillandsia capitata 'Domingensis'
An enigmatic plant introduced by Rauh
as a varietal form of
capitata
from the Dominican Republic. ‘Domingensis’
was rejected scientifically,
but serves well as a cultivar name to keep this diminutive form separate
from the many other mainland forms. Mature plants, 4 to 5in tall,

Tillandsia duratii x stricta
A real oddity, caulescent, but very
leafy with more of a rosette shape like
stricta,
and narrow, succulent, silvery leaves like
duratii,
The inflorescence is a scape with a cluster of short branches bearing
purple fragrant flowers, clearly a mix of the two parents. A fairly
large grower to about 24in. Nice, big, almost mature to mature size
plants, |

Tillandsia edithiae
A beautiful caulescent plant with short,
broadly triangular silvery-gray leaves and a stunning red-flowered
inflorescence. A native of Bolivia where it lives a lithophytic
existence on sheer rock cliffs, hanging in massive cascades. Care free
to grow, when mounted in a pendant fashion it freely produces offsets
along its old stem, soon forming large attractive clusters. Nice large
plants, about 10in long, |

an upright rosette. It is clustering and has a short scape with bright
pink bracts and yellowish flowers. Nice. |

Tillandsia rhodocephala
An impressive large growing plant from Mexico, this
species is rare in cultivation. Superficially, it resembles a giant
capitata,
with many strappy leaves, gracefully recurving in a 24 to 30in silvery
rosette. The inflorescence is capitate with a head of long bracts and
tight branches. In nature, the inflorescence is red, hence the name,
which means literally 'Red Head'. Nice big plants,

Tillandsia straminea, ‘Large Form’
Found in southern Ecuador and northern
Peru, it has widely spreading soft leaves of silver forming a rosette to
20in. The inflorescence is tall with lavender branches and very
fragrant, purple-rimmed, white-petaled flowers. We consider this to be
the finest form of
straminea.

Tillandsia tectorum
The beautiful giant clone from Peru, certainly the
most spectacular of the various
tectorum
clones and one of the most striking of all
Tillandsias.
Like giant plumes of silver cotton candy, some specimens can reach 24in.
Compressed for shipping, the leaves fluff out to form a delicate
silvery-white ball a few days after unpacking. Grow mounted or bare root
in your brightest, breeziest place. Avoid over watering. |

recurvifolia) Dimmit A wide spreading rosette
to about 8in, with half inch wide, rather stiff and silvery-lepidote
leaves. Much more closely resembles the
ixioides
parent, but has more leaves and rosy
pink bracts with yellow flowers. An attractive plant. Budded and
blooming plants, |
