One of the most spectacular of Tillandsias, with succulent silvery leaves and a massive inflorescence consisting of a red rachis with long silvery white branches. A Honduran endemic, restricted to the river canyons of the northwest, near the Guatemalan border, where it grows high up on vertical limestone cliffs. A large grower, it thrives potted or mounted and can reach well over 30 inches tall. An outstanding plant worthy of space in any collection.
A slow growing, large, showy species that’s never in good supply.

Excellent Plant from an Outstanding Grower
T. copanensis: a large and healthy offset at a reasonable price - excellent plant. Shipped very fast and carefully packed with a heat pack and thermal insulation material for safe transport to the northeast in winter - arrived in perfect condition.
Tropiflora: purchased my first bromeliads from Dennis and Linda in the late 1980s “pre internet”. Even as their business has grown so large over the decades, some key elements have never changed - 1. they are a family business with the next generation now very involved in the day to day operations, and their extended family of employees have worked there for years - that says something about the way the owners treat their employees. Customers experience that same level of care and are treated as family. 2. When you order online you get professional service and prompt order fulfillment. Questions on the phone are warmly received and you can expect knowledgeable answers. Visit in person - you’ll see the dedicated care given to the plants by their workers. And Brian the head grower can find anything you might be looking for and give you expert advice on growing it. A professional experience and treated as family - Best of the Best.
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
great selection for air plants like this at Tropiflora

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.
