A cultivar of concolor x capitata ‘Rubra’ by L. Ariza of the Dominican Republic. A really nice cross with gracefully recurving, stiff foliage that is bright red in strong light. The showy inflorescence turns intense red-orange with blue flowers. A very choice and colorful plant. 

Tillandsia tectorum x duratii v. saxitilis 

A spectacular plant that came to us as jalisco-monticola from our friend Steve Correale in Miami. It looks like this species but the foliage is dramatically stiffer and of thicker texture. The inflorescence is a simple spike, thickly inflated and light green with peach coloration at the bottom. A powdery ‘bloom’ gives the inflorescence a glaucous look. An excellent form that is a slow grower, but does not have any special requirements.
