One of the larger of the genus, reaching a height of nearly 3 feet. It's upright leaves blush pink with silver banding in good light, when not over-fed. The inflorescence is typical of its kin, a cone of wavy, fluorescent crimson bracts, as delicate as tissue paper, and blue flowers. Stunning when in bloom. Great landscape plant for central to southern Florida and similarly warm areas. Will spread to fill a bed and will climb any available tree.
I received a pup of Quesnelia arvensis from Tropiflora in great condition. Years ago we had some very nice beds of this Quesnelia at the Parrot Jungle in Miami that would put out a very colorful long lasting show of red blooms every year. I was looking to plant it at home and look forward to its bright red inflorescences.
Tillandsia ionantha ‘Blushing Bride’ The most popular Guatemalan form of this beautiful miniature species. 2 to 3 inches tall vase shaped plants are green with silver trichomes, and blush bright red all over when in bloom, with bright purple flowers.
A perfect hybrid. Halfway between both parents (brachycaulos x concolor), this fine hybrid has the shape of a concolor with fairly stiff leaves, but a glabrous sheen like brachycaulos. At anthesis it blushes red with a short scape with long, stiff bracts and short red branches bearing deep violet flowers. Highly recommended.
love the colors on this one. So pretty
I attached to a piece of driftwood and its just so pretty

This species of Mexican and Central American forms a 6 inch open rosette of gray-green leaves which flush vivid red when in bloom. Flowers are blue. A lovely, easy to grow, all-time-favorite. An easy growing, sub-mesic plant that grows well when mounted and kept in moderate light and humidity.
A Mexican plant with very stiff leaves in an open rosette of 6 to 8 inches. The leaves are yellowish, blushing reddish in strong light or full sun and it produces a shiny red to yellow-green, branched inflorescence with pink flowers. Easy to grow, preferring conditions on the bright and dry side. Can be suspended from a string or mounted on wood, cork, stone or other substrate. Suitable for dry terrarium use.
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.
