Tillandsia 'Funky One'
1051
Previously referred to as T. andreana x funckiana. This plant is a hybrid of two very closely related species that were at one time, lumped together. Til. funckiana is famously caulescent while andreana is stemless. The hybrid has somewhat of a stem, but is broader than the slim funckiana. Still has the needle thin leave of both and the red blush and bright crimson flowers.
Tillandsia 'Goomong'
2100
A hybrid of (stricta x duratii) by Patterson. A caulescent plant to 18 inches, with a great many narrow, deeply channeled, curling, soft, silvery leaves that form a twisted cluster. The inflorescence is about 10 to 12 inches long, branched and produces open, purple flowers with a slight fragrance, though it is a reluctant bloomer.
As always, the best- I could easily “ go broke “ buying all I would like. The shipping was really good and the specimen will become part of my air plant garden. Will, obviously, buy more- thanks
Tillandsia 'Gretchen'
8547
A large and showy cross of (variabilis x capitata 'Yellow') by Bill Timm. The plant can reach over 24 inches across in an open rosette shape with strappy, green leaves dusted with silver trichomes. The inflorescence is very tall, can exceed 24 inches and is yellowish with up to ten upright branches and long, narrow, leaf-like scape bracts. The overall look is pinkish to reddish-orange with yellowish sepals tipped in red. Flowers are long and tubular, bluish-purple.
Tillandsia 'Kendra'
8045
Paul Isley's cross 'Kendra' is a cultivar of bulbosa x baileyi. A vigorous hybrid that looks a bit like the baileyi parent but is much larger and more robust. The bulbous base is like that of the bulbosa and the terete leaves are silvery and sinuous. The inflorescence is quite tall, at least as long as the leaves and it branched, pinkish, with a silvery finish. Grows to about 18 inches tall, taller than either parent plant.
