A beautiful and robust species from Chiapas, Mexico. Similar in some aspects to Tillandsia fasciculata var. fasciculata to which it is certainly closely related, it is maintained as a distinct species nonetheless. Having a bumpy and confused start including a name change by Matuda and being mis-assigned to the wrong subfamily by Lyman Smith, it remains a species of taxonomic contention. Found only in the vicinity of Sumidero Canyon, it lives mainly as a lithophyte on canyon walls, forming clusters of several to many plants. The foliage is stiff, narrowly triangular, greenish above and silvery below and up to two feet long. The inflorescence is taller than the rosette, erect at first and bearing up to a dozen narrow, bright yellow branches and blue-violet flowers. A choice species that is not very commonly available.
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.
