A cross of (ionantha ‘red’ x bulbosa lg form) by Bill Timm. Kind of unique we think because usually anything crossed with ionantha ends up looking more like a big ionantha.  Tillandsia ‘Luke’ is an exception, with a bulbous base and upright habit, it resembles the bulbosa parent.  More silvery than green it also has many more leaves than a bulbosa. 

When blooming the whole upper whorl of leaves and the inflorescence blushes red with blue flowers.  It is a stunning plant, not large, but showy. 

This hybrid by Bill Timm is a cultivar of (chiapensis x roland-gosselinii). One of those ‘dream crosses’ using two fantastic plants as parents and getting stunning results. The hybrid is right down the line between the two, taking on the silver leaves and inflorescence shape of the chiapensis parent and the size, and inflorescence coloration closer to the roland-gosselinii parent. Reaching a full 30 inches across, the plant is impressive for size alone, but can also stay in bloom for months. A great plant. 

Tillandsia 'Majestic' (chiapensis x concolor 'red Spiked form') cross by Mark Dimmitt. A beautiful plant with thick green foliage and long narrow cherry red spikes.

A fairly large hybrid by Luis Ariza, (brachycaulos x fasciculata), to about 10 to 16 inches with many leaves in a spreading rosette. The leaves are somewhat softer than a fasciculata and dusted with silvery scurf. The inflorescence is a cluster of short red branches on a red scape, with long scape bracts that blush reddish too. The flowers are exceptionally long, tubular and light bluish purple. An easy grower that does well mounted. 

A hybrid of (fasciculata x concolor) by Steve Correale is the reverse cross of ‘Silver Sword’, larger and not as stiff leaved and having a branched rather than simple inflorescence.

A nice silvery, fasciculata-type plant with a branched inflorescence, typically three-branches but not always. The inflorescence is rather inflated with long, lanceolate branches, pink at the bottom, transitioning to green at the top. Really a nice looking plant. 

A nice hybrid by Bill Timm, ('Rio Hondo’ X capitata ‘Red’). A medium sized plant with greenish foliage and a red capitate inflorescence.

A stunning hybrid of (pseudobaileyi x streptophylla) by Robert Spivey that is a perfect balance of the two parents.  It has clean lines with a bulbous base and upright terete foliage that is slightly wavy and silvery gray.  The inflorescence is erect with several branches, slightly exceeding the foliage.  The scape and branches are bright pink becoming silvery white.  A choice hybrid and easy to grow. 

A beautiful cross of chiapensis x botterii, two southern Mexican species, by Steve Correale. A fairly large plant to over twelve inches tall with silvery leaves that taper to fine points forming a graceful vase shaped rosette. The inflorescence is multi-branched, taller than the foliage, with a central branch longer than the others, which are curved inward. The color is deep red fading slowly to greenish, all with a coat of silver trichomes, very attractive. 

A cross of (albertiana x muhriae) by Mark Dimmitt. An interesting plant with semi-terete succulent leaves in an attenuated rosette. The foliage is reddish-green, finely lineated and loosely arranged on a 3 to 4 inch stem. Large deep pink flowers. Seldom offered.
