A caulescent, clumping species from Peru with stiff, erect, green leaves at almost right angles to the stem.

The inflorescence consists of a six inch spike of bright red with white flowers. A slow grower and reluctant bloomer but easy to grow under ‘typical’ Tillandsia conditions.

A Gasteria x Aloe hybrid, but the exact cross we do not know. About 5 inch rosettes are dark green with a gray wash, white spots with tubercles and whitish margins on the tapering leaves. Pretty, easy and a clumping plant.

This is an as yet unidentified Neoregelia species from Sao Sebastiao, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Wish we knew what this one is, it’s a beauty. Still undescribed, it has a resemblance to chlorosticta, but is not. An upright rosette of apple-green leaves, mottled with white, pink and red, with bright red tips. Pretty and unusual. Hopefully it will one day be described as a new species.

A smaller hybrid that has decorative foliage, large teeth that are not sharp but are more rubbery, tapering, triangular leaves to about 3 inches long and a procumbent habit. The foliage is green, but blushes orange to red in strong light. The inflorescence bears red flowers. A choice plant, easy to grow.

One of the all-time favorite, easy to grow, beautiful Tillandsias, from Chiapas, Mexico. A pinkish-silver plant with wide, leathery, scurfy leaves in a broadly spreading open rosette. Can grow to 18 inches, but usually is much smaller.

The inflorescence, which can last in color for a year, is an inflated, sometimes branched, pink spike. A cliff-dweller from the dramatic canyons of Chiapas, it best kept mounted in bright light, and fed frequently.

A smallish species of Tillandsia that grows on a long stem.  The narrow, stiff leaves are 2 to 3 inches long spaced along the stem and taper to a point.  The overall color is dark purplish with a silvery tint.  The inflorescence is a 2 inch scape with bright pink bracts and flaring blue flowers.  Clumps are easily formed and once a clump forms, the plants can be suspended from a string for cultivation. 

Native to Rio Grande do Sul in Southern Brazil, it has a strong resemblance to T. aeranthos though it must be significantly different enough to deserve species status.  Our plants came originally from the collection of Elton Leme. 

From Argentina, grows as a saxicole on exposed rock or epiphytically in scrubby thorn bush, almost always forming large clusters. This caulescent species has a rigid stem and short, stiff leaves, all a dark grayish color, and bears large and very fragrant, white flowers.

A notably easy species to cultivate, tolerating a variety of conditions and light levels. Prefers to be kept bright, airy and on the dry side

This is a cross that came to us under formula without any specified hybridizer. We are therefore taking this one at ‘face value’ so to speak. A leafy, upright, funnel form rosette of fairly narrow, semi-stiff, gray green leaves that tint dark reddish in strong light.

The inflorescence is pink and forms a scape with tight branches bearing white flowers. Long lasting in color. As yet not named.

A cultivar of (chlorosticta x ‘Sunrise’) by Shane Zaghini. A smallish plant to about ten inches across in an upright, vase shaped rosette. The inch and a half wide leaves are dark purple marbled with bright green. A nice Aussie hybrid.

A cross of (cyanea x concentrica) by Odean Head. A 6 x 6 inch hybrid with thick, inch wide reddish leaves that look a bit like olens, with yellow dots throughout. Slight silver banding on the undersides.

A choice form that should be registered. (Maybe we will). Depending on how it’s grown, can be very ampoule-shaped with short leaves or a little more open in a vase shape. Green with dark reddish brown banding, stronger on the undersides of the leaf. Grows on short stolons, forming attractive clumps and perfect for mounting or for decorative containers or baskets.
