Bill Timm’s hybrid of (fasciculata x capitata). An open rosette of arching, moderately stiff, purplish leaves with an inflorescence consisting of a scape with a cluster of short, purplish branches. The primary bracts are leaf-like and blush reddish purple at anthesis. A fairly large and robust plant. 

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. 

An excellent hybrid of concolor x fasciculata, by Steve Correale. A stiff leaved, twelve inch open rosette of tapering, pointed leaves, silvery on both sides, blushing blackish towards the tips in bright light. The inflorescence is a simple, sword-shaped spike of glossy red to slightly orange or yellow towards the base. Silver trichomes on the spike cause it to look pinker in color. Very long lasting in bloom.

An attractive hybrid of (ionantha x chiapensis) by John Arden. As with most ionantha hybrids, it shows very strong characteristics of that species. A very leafy open rosette to about 8 or 10 inches tall with a pinkish blush to the scurfy, silvery leaves. The inflorescence is very colorful, a cluster of bright red branches nested deep in the center, with large, tubular, inky-blue flowers. Very pretty and easy to grow. Likes to be on the dry side.
