Racinaea multiflora v. tomensis
269
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.

Sincoraea aff. heleniceae #1B
2478
This plant was introduced by Eloise Beach as Sincoraea sp. EB1B. When it blooms, it looks very similar to what we have as Sincoraea heleniceae SEL2003-0253. A white-yellow ring surrounds the sessile inflorescence with the remaining outer band of foliage flushing a deep red. It could be a new clone or possibly a new species.
The plants that we are offering at this time are coming in to bloom.
Tillandsia x walter-richteri (natural hybrid)
7388
A natural hybrid of Till. argentina x tenuifolia. A clustering plant with very stiff, dark gray leaves tapering to a sharp point. The inflorescence is a lanceolate scape of pink with lavender flowers with an open corolla. Overall the plant takes more characteristics from the argentina parent.
Tillandsia 'Amigo'
3118
A large growing and spectacular hybrid by John Arden is a cultivar of (jalisco monticola x roland-gosselinii). A graceful, arching rosette of narrow, silvery leaves, reaching over 24 inches in diameter. The inflorescence is a tall scape to over 2 feet tall, with a cluster of inflated branches, red on the bottom becoming green on top. Very showy and long lasting in bloom.
Tillandsia 'Arco Iris'
6055
A stunning hybrid of (chiapensis x tricolor) takes on the very best of both species. In general the shape is like that of tricolor, an open rosette of narrow, fairly stiff leaves. They differ from the wide leaves of chiapensis but take on the silvery coloration of that species. The inflorescence is taller than the foliage, with a central spike and three or four side branches, rather like the shape of the tricolor parent. The color is glossy red in the center with a dusting of silver trichomes towards the margins, which appear pink. Immature branches are yellow and flowers blue. A very colorful hybrid!
Tillandsia 'Ask Harry'
6974
An apparent natural hybrid from Mexico of (brachycaulos x paucifolia) as identified by Harry Luther. After acquiring the plant, Bill Timm made a note to ‘Ask Harry’ and I guess the name stuck. Wouldn’t have been my pick, but it is what it is. Anyway, this is a handsome little plant in an upright vase shape of stiff, deeply channeled leaves that are reddish with light silver banding. The inflorescence is fairly short, may or may not branch and is pink with blue flowers. Showy plants.
