A colorful small plant with green leaves, washed with red and a sort of banded pattern. The cup flushes vivid red-purple in bloom. A nice windowsill-sized plant. The cross is by Gary Hendrix Neoregelia princeps x ‘Fireball’ x ‘Peggy Pollard’.
A hybrid of (lilliputiana x ‘Blushing Tiger’) by Michael Kiehl. This is a great little miniature that looks like a mini ‘Blushing Tiger’. Good for terrariums and its stoloniferous habit makes it a nice choice for a hanging pot.
A hybrid of A. recurvata x cylindrata. A clump-forming plant barely over six inches tall. The leaves tighten up into a nice shape and color dark, almost black in full sun. Good hardy landscape subject for rock gardens.
My bromeliad was beautiful as described. I have purchased many broms from Tropiflora and highly recommend them.

A brilliantly white margined form of Neo. compacta. A stoloniferous plant to 20 inches or so, light green, blushing brilliant red in the center when in bloom. Great for direct mounting in trees in subtropical locations or for a really different hanging basket subject. Once very rare and very expensive, it is nothing if not prolific.
A gray-leaved Tillandsia found growing as a lithophyte on cliffs and rarely on trees in the intermontane valleys of the Western slopes of the Andes in Ecuador and Peru. Features broad leaves tapering to a fine tip, rather soft and forming a loose rosette of recurving leaves. The inflorescence is tall, feather shaped and light pink to slightly orange. The flowers, set distichously, are greenish yellow. Easy to cultivate under typical Tillandsia conditions, mounted or in a very good draining media.
A uncommon species that is not found in many plant collections. It originates in Minas Gerais, Brazil growing on rocky outcroppings. The color can vary from gray to silver with hints of red. The mature size is 10 to 12 inches across.
I’ve purchased two pieces. Glad to have these in my collection!

A Ray Coleman cross of (gigas x ‘Tingua’) that is a large growing plant reaching 20 inches tall and 45 inches across with 3 inch wide leaves. In strong light the leaves are rich, rusty brown with some dark red speckling. No significant color change at anthesis. Flowers are blue. Useful in landscape as it is a large grower with a tolerance for sun and harsh conditions.
A hybrid of (‘Firewitch’ x sarmentosa) by Paterson. Compact rosettes with moderately wide leaves colored deep burgundy red with scattered light green spots, flecks and bars. Very attractive as a pot plant and works well in terrariums too. Compact and pretty.
A mound forming miniature lithophytic or terrestrial species from Bolivia and Argentina. Formerly known as Abromeitiella lorentziana, the plant is a mounding species which forms many ‘heads’, each about two inches across. The leaves are stiff and thickly succulent, acutely triangular and very sharply pointed. Normally green in cultivation, it may blush a gray to rusty red in full sun. The flower is without a scape and is deep green. Easy to grow in well-drained soil in bright light to full sun.
I collect lots of plants and this is one of my favorite shops. Always fast shipping, healthy beautiful plants.

There are few Hechtia hybrids of any kind which is unfortunate because there are many with great potential. This hybrid has a few cultivars of (texensis x stenopetala) by California Hechtia expert Andy Siekkinen, selected for nearly identical characteristics. This means that it is quite possible to have both male and female plants within this hybrid grex.
A very leafy and of course stiff and wickedly spiny rosette with leaves that taper to a long, narrow point and large spines are hooked inward. Depending on growing conditions, the plant can reach 30 inches across and color in bright light to full sun can vary from red to maroon.
