A hybrid of (brachycaulos x schiedeana). Upright to 10 inches, it has rather narrow leaves and an attenuated inflorescence that forms a tightly capitate head. A late-spring bloomer, with rosy-blushing silvery leaves and yellow flowers. This is a very interesting and different-looking plant.
A spectacular cross by Steve Correale of (chiapensis x fasciculata ‘Magnificent’) SC. A good blend of the parents; the basic shape of a fasciculata, but with more ‘substance’ and scurffing, like the chiapensis parent. The inflorescence has the shape of the fasciculata, which is an outstanding form native to northern Panama, but is a bit thicker and dusted with the silver thichomes of chiapensis. When well grown, one of the most spectacular of Tillandsias.
Very happy with the plant and bloom, it will look great next to my chiapensis's. Thank You !

This cute little caulescent plant is a cross of (tectorum x paleacea) reaching about 6 to 8 inches long, with 2 inch fuzzy silver leaves. Not as fuzzy as the tectorum parent, but still very fuzzy. A very prolific, fast-grower, producing many offsets and forming clumps fairly quickly. The scape is about 6 inches long with purple flowers. Grow it hanging from a string or mount it. A very easy ‘confidence builder’ for beginners, but a nice plant for any collection.
Plant came as advertised and I was satisfied with the clump that was sent to me, very healthy plant.

A nice bright hybrid made here at Tropiflora, a cross of tenuifolia v. strobiliformis x stricta Hard Leaf. Mature open rosette to about 8 inches across on a rather caulescent stem. Upright, arching, stiff, light green leaves, tapering to a point.
The inflorescence, exerted just above the leaves, is about 6 inches long and rather strobilate with white-tipped candy pink bracts and slightly-flaring white flowers.
A cultivar of (albida x streptophylla) by Bill Timm. A good combination of parents with the plant most closely resembling the T. streptophylla parent with broad, channeled leaves heavily coated with silver trichomes. The leaves do not tend to curl as strongly as streptophylla but the base does form a bulbous shape. The plant forms an open rosette to about 12 inches or a little larger. The inflorescence is very tall with long, slender, pink branches held upright. The branching and coloration is a vestige of the streptophylla DNA but the slender nature is strictly from the albida parent.
