A cross of (Tillandsia capitata ‘Yellow’ x ionantha 'Druid') by Chester Skotak is a hybrid of exceptional merit. Unusual and pretty, it has upright growth as is typical with ionantha crosses, but with a capitate inflorescence that blushes brilliant red with many blue flowers for a spectacular display. A very dense and heavy plant reaching about 12 inches tall in a many-leaved upright rosette.

A purported natural hybrid from Oaxaca, Mexico of Tillandsia tomasellii x fasciculata v. densispica, though such parentage can only be an educated guess but both suggested parents do live together in the area. A large grower with broad, deeply channeled, tapering, silvery leaves. The shape is an open rosette with the leaves growing in a recurved spiral.
The inflorescence is a tall scape, red but made pink by silvery trichomes. The scape bracts are long and leaf-like, blushing reddish towards the top of the rachis. A dozen or more stout branches of pale yellow form a loose cluster well above the foliage. This is a handsome plant with long lasting color.

A cultivar of Paterson’s cross of (tenuifolia x recurvifolia). A small plant to about 4 inches tall and wide with stiff, gray-green leaves in a loose rosette. The plant much more closely resembles the tenuifolia parent in shape but is more silvery. The inflorescence is a short scape with deep pink bracts and white flowers, close to the recurvifolia parent. Easily forms clusters of plants and is a fast, easy grower.

A cultivar of (caput-medusae x fasciculata) by a hybridist unknown to us. A good combination of the characteristics of both parents; somewhat bulbous based upright rosette of moderately stiff, thick textured leaves of silvery-gray color. The inflorescence is erect with long, slender, glossy branches of dark pink and yellow. Scape bracts are leaf-like. A handsome plant and easy to cultivate.

A hybrid of (stricta x duratii) by Patterson. A caulescent plant to 18 inches, with a great many narrow, deeply channeled, curling, soft, silvery leaves that form a twisted cluster. The inflorescence is about 10 to 12 inches long, branched and produces open, purple flowers with a slight fragrance, though it is a reluctant bloomer.
The plants arrived in good condition. Awesome!
As always, the best- I could easily “ go broke “ buying all I would like. The shipping was really good and the specimen will become part of my air plant garden. Will, obviously, buy more- thanks
