A natural hybrid of Tillandsia gardneri x stricta. The native range of this natural hybrid is southeastern Brazil.  We received this clone from Elton Leme.

A naturally occurring hybrid of brachycaulos x dasyliriifolia from Mexico, described by Ramirez & Carnivali. In our experience it is not a large plant, but rather upright growing to about 12 to 18 inches with fairly broad silvery-green leaves. The inflorescence is cylindrical to occasionally branched, with pinkish bracts and white flowers.

(SEL2000-0185)

A naturally occurring hybrid of (fasciculata x ionantha), this plant was originally described as a species. For some, this plant is Tillandsia 'Jalapa-Fortin' because of the road where it is often found in Veracruz, Mexico. A great plant however you name it. In general it looks like a very big ionantha, blushing red when it blooms and having a short to nonexistent scape of blue flowers.

*VIPP plants are small, not in bud/color

A native of south-central, western Mexico, this is one of the most sought Tillandsias for collections, and with good reason. The plants are simply beautiful. Each forms a neat, open rosette of wide, glabrous, slightly orange colored leaves, which recurve downward to form an almost ball like appearance. The inflorescence is tall with multiple, inflated bright yellow and red branches. Very bright and long lasting. Takes on more vivid colors in strong light. Grows best mounted. Does not like cold!
