A large growing and spectacular hybrid by John Arden is a cultivar of (jalisco monticola x roland-gosselinii). A graceful, arching rosette of narrow, silvery leaves, reaching over 24 inches in diameter. The inflorescence is a tall scape to over 2 feet tall, with a cluster of inflated branches, red on the bottom becoming green on top. Very showy and long lasting in bloom. 

A remake of the cross for Tillandsia ‘Creation’ which was Tillandsia cyanea x platyrachis. Similar but superior in that it is smaller, more compact with better foliage and overall conformation. The plant grows to 24 inches across or more, with a graceful rosette shape of ¾ inch wide leave that taper to a point. Unlike those of ‘Creation’ they keep their form better, staying rigid and not tending to droop as much. The inflorescence is taller than the foliage with usually more than a dozen paddle shaped, pink branches, later bearing purple flowers.

Cultivation is easy, like that of the cyanea parent. Bright indirect light is best with constant moisture, not wet, only moist. In brighter light the foliage can blush reddish, but this might result in a shorter lived inflorescence. Under normal conditions, the inflorescence should last over three months.

Due to recent taxonomic revisions, this plant is now correctly known as x Wallfusia ‘Antonio’ a cultivar of Wallisia cyanea x Barfusia platyrachis. However, as it is firmly in the trade as Tillandsia ‘Antonio’ we will continue to list it as such.

A stunning hybrid of (chiapensis x tricolor) takes on the very best of both species. In general the shape is like that of tricolor, an open rosette of narrow, fairly stiff leaves. They differ from the wide leaves of chiapensis but take on the silvery coloration of that species. The inflorescence is taller than the foliage, with a central spike and three or four side branches, rather like the shape of the tricolor parent. The color is glossy red in the center with a dusting of silver trichomes towards the margins, which appear pink. Immature branches are yellow and flowers blue. A very colorful hybrid! 

A hybrid of (paucifolia x streptophylla) by Bill Timm. A tall, upright, tight, somewhat bulbous rosette of long, curling leaves. Silvery, with a tall, pink inflorescence bearing pink bracts and pink branches with blue flowers. A very handsome and vigorous plant. 

Tillandsia 'Awesome Amber' is a hybrid from Paul Isley, composed of Tillandsia rothii x Tillandsia concolor parentage.

A really wild looking hybrid blushing light red when in bloom and forming a capitate inflorescence. Multiple bright orange-red spikes protrude from the capitate head for a completely bizarre look. (capitata x flabellata) (Bak)

A hybrid of (brachycaulos x streptophylla) by Paterson. A plant of variable size that may flower from 5 to 10 inches tall. Somewhat bulbous and upright, the leaves are reddish and lepidote, blushing red at anthesis. The inflorescence is capitate with blue flowers. 

Another lovely hybrid by Paul Isley of xerographica x rothii.
