Tillandsia 'Showtime'
2694
A hybrid of (bulbosa x streptophylla) by Mark Dimmitt. This interesting plant could be described as a larger bulbosa-type plant with broader, more twisted leaves. Or, as a streptophylla-type plant with shiny and deeply channeled leaves. In other words, a good split of characteristics of both parents.
This hybrid is sometimes found as a natural cross in Guatemala. Grows well mounted, easily forming large clusters of plants.
Tillandsia 'Sister Theresa'
8443
A nice looking plant with bulbous base and terete leaves that curve gracefully downward. A cultivar of (intermedia x caputmedusae) by noted Tillandsia breeder Mark Dimmitt and named by Paul Isley.
The foliage is silvery and the inflorescence; multi-branched, bright red with purple flowers, is long lasting a showy. Forms clusters of plants in time and is especially easy to grow.

An apparent natural hybrid of (streptophylla x paucifolioides) named by Bill Timm. Bulbous based with pinkish-tinted, silvery leaves that curl inward or are deeply channeled, and an inflorescence of silvery branches and pink scape bracts. Very attractive.
