A natural hybrid from the vicinity of El Rancho, Guatemala first imported and later described by Paul Isley. The cross is thought to be xerographica x paucifolia, both of which it shares some similarities. The plant forms an open rosette with a somewhat bulbous base, has broadly tapering, deeply channeled leaves that have a bit of a twist to them. The inflorescence is erect, branched and pinkish red with pale blue flowers.

An attractive and uncommon hybrid as all plants in cultivation have descended from the first import.

A beautiful and collectible Tillandsia from Guatemala which forms a large open rosette with wide recurving silver leaves and a handsome yellow inflorescence. Grown mounted or in a basket, the leaves will hang in long curls. Native to seasonally dry forests where they receive abundant sun and good air circulation, in cultivation does well in a hanging basket or a string ‘cradle’, just suspended in a bright, airy place.

A magnificent species now listed as endangered by C.I.T.E.S.

This cross of xerographica x brachycaulos has been made before and at least one clone is registered as “Betty.”  This plant, however, is not the same, though of course, you’d expect similarities.  Our clone most closely resembles the xerographica parent in the foliage, with broad, channeled, fairly stiff, curling, silvery leaves.  The inflorescence is tall with many upright greenish branches and long scape bracts that blush slightly red at anthesis.  A nice large showy plant!

This Tillandsia is a Bird Rock Tropicals hybrid, still unnamed as far as we can ascertain. A complex cross of [compressa x (capitata 'Peach' x fasciculata)] it has an open rosette shape with many stiff, silvery leaves to about twenty inches long forming a 30-inch rosette.

The inflorescence is a tight head of fat branches, glossy pinkish-red though we suspect our first bloom was not in fullest potential color. Flowers blue.
