An outstanding variety of the species multiflora. Unlike variety multiflora, which is its more common cousin with yellowish leaves and a white inflorescence that occurs at low to medium altitudes in Ecuador and Peru, this form is a medium to high altitude plant.

A rosette of green foliage bears a tall and many branched inflorescence which is bright pink-orange in nature and a little more subdued in coloration in cultivation. Although it lives in cooler altitudes in nature, it has been cultivated here in Florida for over twenty years since we collected our original stock.

Not a fast grower, it nonetheless is a healthy, strong grower at sea level. Very rare in cultivation. Culture is like that of a Tillandsia.
