The large form of this pretty plant. A very nice plant easy to cultivate, prefers strong light.

A surprising little plant from Brazil's Atlantic Rainforest. Growing in colonies of a few to many dozen plants, a small clump may resemble Til. recurvata until it flowers. Don't worry about confusing the two, though, as mallemontii is nearly always covered with many large purple, fragrant flowers. Certainly one of the easiest of all Tillandsias to grow. Enjoys good air circulation, medium to bright shaded conditions and frequent watering with fast drying. May be mounted or just suspended from a string for wonderful results.

An interesting species from Bahia, Brazil where it grows on exposed rock. Upright growing with narrow, 8 inch long leaves on a caulescent stem. The inflorescence is an erect spike, slightly taller than the foliage, terminating with a cluster of pink bracts and white flowers. A mature plant in bloom can reach 16 inches tall and 8 inches wide. Our plant is descended directly from the type collection by Elton Leme.
