Tillandsia extensa, a terrestrial from the upper slopes of the Rio Chancay has red leaves when grown in full sun. The infloresence is a massive, multi-branched panicle that is sometimes used a Christmas tree locally. Mature at about 24 inches the species seems to adapt well to cultivation and may be grown potted or mounted.

Tillandsia capitata 'Peach' x tricolor -  We acquired this plant years ago from Bob Spivey.

Is this a fragrant flowered plant? Honestly, I don't know. It is reported to be though I have never personally been able to detect a scent. Some people can though. At any rate, this Central American native is nice, with needle-fine leaves about 10 to 16 inches long, growing in little tufts. Light green to yellowish, they can blush reddish in strong light. Quarter inch, spreading white flowers are borne on a yellowish, branched inflorescence that is a little shorter than the leaves.

*VIPP clump is massive, with over 100 individual plants growing together and more than 20 years old. We'd like to keep the clump as it is so we are limiting this plant to domestic shipping only.
