Tillandsia flabellata 'Giant Red' x concolor

*VIPP plants are in low bud

This plant is the same cross by Steve Correale; chiapensis x botterii, as ‘Mixtec Treasure’ but is a different clone. Similar in size, it is a fairly large plant to over twelve inches tall with silvery leaves can blush slightly reddish and that taper to fine points forming a graceful vase shaped rosette that spreads at anthesis. 

The inflorescence up to seven long branches and is taller than the foliage, with a central branch longer than the others. All branches are slightly secund towards the tips. The color is red on the bottom half of the branches fading to yellow on top. A coat of silver trichomes tones down the colors to pink and yellow, very attractive.

A hybrid of (albertiana x stricta) by Mark Dimmitt. An interesting and somewhat variable plant with a 6 inch stem covered with dark purple-green, shiny leaves or sometimes silvery gray leaves. The inflorescence is short with red-purple or burgundy flowers. A colorful plant that makes clusters of offsets. Very easy to cultivate mounted or hanging from a string. Yet another in the 'Mystic' series of Mark Dimmitt hybrids. All have a common pollen parent, T. albertiana.  

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.
