Formerly known as Tillandsia cyanea variegated. A once very rare form with beautifully white striped leaves. The inflorescence is the same as a the typical form, bright pink with large, fragrant purple flowers. Has been around for a while in some private collections, but is still not often seen for sale.

A cultivar of (Billbergia nutans x Aechmea recurvata v. benrathii) Stewart. A cute, clumping, easy to grow miniature bigeneric hybrid. Slender, stiff, moderately spiny leaves of light green, form upright, clustering rosettes to about 8 to 10 inches tall. The inflorescence is fairly attractive, erect to nodding, with bright red bracts, streaked with grey trichomes and a cluster of violet trimmed, green flowers. Can take on a reddish cast if grown in strong light. Suitable for terrariums.

There aren't many hybrids made with the former Cryptanthus warasii, but this one is a neat hybrid by Nat DeLeon.  The plant has silver leaves that are softer than the warasii with white flowers.

*VIPP plants are Offsets

A hybrid by Lisa Vinzant. Resembles an Aechmea recurvata somewhat, but has softer leaves. Faint red bands and spots mark both sides of the leaves and the red intensifies when blooming. Makes a good terrarium plant with many water retaining leaf axials and matures at only about 8 inches tall. A shy bloomer but offsets readily.

xPitcohnia (Deuterocohnia longipetala 'Silver' x Pitcairnia burle-marxii) is a bi-generic hybrid made here at Tropiflora. Spineless silver green arching leaves. Grows to 24 inches tall and 24 inches across. 

Bryan Windham's hybrid of Aechmea chantinii 'Deleon' x Sincoraea ulei.

A new nothogenera: xSincorglaziovia is a hybrid created here by Ray Lemieux of (Neoglaziovia variegata x Sincoraea albopictum) and first published in the BSI Journal, Vol. 61 (5) Sep. Oct. 2012. Ray made the cross back in 2006 and when it finally bloomed for the first time in 2011 he thought he a recreated the pineapple! The inflorescence emerging between the stiff leaves looked a lot like the inflorescence of a pineapple. Of the many seed produced, only 1/3 germinated and only a single seedling survived!

An unusual plant with half inch wide leaves in an upright rosette taper to a point. The foliage is silver-gray below and glabrous reddish-purple above in good light, with faint cross bands of silver. Marginal spines are tiny, giving a more serrated than spiny appearance. The inflorescence is a cluster of short, green branches on a short scape and the flowers light pinkish lavender with an open corolla. A terrestrial, it grows in clusters with abundant offsets.
