Tillandsia 'Mystic Burgundy'
2764
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.
Tillandsia 'Mystic Flame Orange'
2736
An attractive hybrid of (albertiana x ixioides) by Mark Dimmitt, who has made several plants in a series, using T. albertiana as one parent. A colorful small hybrid with intensely peach to reddish-orange flowers. The inflorescence is on a 3 inch scape with a cluster of branches at the end, bearing multiple flowers. Very pretty.
Tillandsia 'Mystic Flame'

Tillandsia 'Mystic Haze'
9268
A hybrid of (albertiana x zecheri). 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 purple flowers. A colorful plant that makes clusters of offsets. Very easy to cultivate mounted or hanging from a string.
Tillandsia 'Mystic Rainbow'
2721
A miniature hybrid of (albertiana x arequitae) by Mark Dimmitt. A fascinating beautiful hybrid with large peach to lavender colored flowers to 2 inches in diameter. Foliage is stiff and silvery in an upright, loose rosette of a dozen leaves.
A choice little hybrid, rarely offered.
Tillandsia 'Naranja'
8016
A clone of capitata from Steve Correale, as best as we can ascertain. It could be a hybrid or a cross of different clones of the species, but for sure it is a nice, large, colorful plant. An open rosette of arching green leaves with silvery trichomes and a slight blush of red. The inflorescence is capitate with long bracts of pinkish-orange. Very colorful and long lasting.
Tillandsia 'Neerdie'
8533
Tillandsia brachycaulos × Tillandsia fasciculata
Tillandsia 'Nellie Rose'
3000
A John Arden hybrid of (jalisco-monticola x capitata). A tough and showy plant with leathery reddish leaves in a symmetrical, very leafy rosette. The inflorescence is a tight cluster of many dark orange branches in a capitate head with long scape bracts exceeding the branches. Very long lasting in color. A heavy plant, tough and sturdy, easy to grow. Grows well mounted or potted in a fast draining mix with good aeration.
Tillandsia 'Nice Enough'
1903
A hybrid of (caput-medusae x balbisiana) definitely leaning more to the T. caput-medusae parent. A bulbous base with long and twisting leaves that are more terete than flat.
The inflorescence is a cluster of bright red branches on a short scape. The plant is silvery with trichomes, but has a reddish blush in strong light and at anthesis.
The picture of tillandsia nice enough does not do it justice. Such a cute, fat bottom. I love all my plants purchased at Tropiflora. Health, sizes appropriate for cost and always packaged for safe delivery.
Tillandsia 'Oregon'
8482
Somewhat of a mystery. This plant came to us as T. 'Oregon' with the cross listed as (streptophylla x pseudobaileyi). In checking, we noted a cross by Mark Dimmitt called 'Gorgon' and thought perhaps that ours was a case of mistaken identity or misspelling. On closer examination though, while similar, ours has flatter leaves, not terete as with 'Gorgon' and a taller inflorescence. The inflorescence is a tall scape with long, leaf-like scape bracts and a cluster of upright angled, pink branches. It appears to have T. balbisiana in its parentage but that is not reported on the label. Very attractive and long lasting in color. Easily forms substantial clusters. So, the mystery continues.
