Bob Spivey’s hybrid is a cultivar of (funckiana x kegeliana), two red-flowered Tillandsias that are not as unrelated as they might appear. The flowers are in fact quite similar in both, though the foliage is dramatically different. The hybrid much more closely resembles the funckiana parent but differs in being more robust with longer leaves and having multiple flowers. It keeps the nice clustering habit of the funckiana parent.

A nice hybrid of apparently (pseudobaileyi x intermedia) by an unknown hybridizer and registered by Bill Timm. Larger than either parent, it grows to about 18 inches tall. The leaves are terete, green and slightly silvery and the base is bulbous. The inflorescence is most like that of pseudobaileyi, erect, stiff, laxly branched and pink with silver trichomes. 

A hybrid of (capitata x streptophylla). An extraordinary beauty that takes on a bulbous shape with wide, recurving, curling leaves coated with silvery scurf.

The inflorescence is fairly short with long, curling scape bracts and a tightly clustered head of red branches and light blue flowers. The whole plant takes on a reddish-peach blush at anthesis. A choice plant.

A nice plant by Steve Correale with an open rosette, blushing to almost red when in bloom. Leaves are bright green with some scurffing, slightly curved. The inflorescence has yellow branched spikes and pink flower tubes.

A lovely hybrid of concolor x xerographica by Paul Isley. With the xerographica parent showing, this plant is on C.I.T.E.S.

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.
