The truth is, we suspect that this plant is not a fasciculata at all, but rather either a new species or one that we do not know about. For now though, for lack of a better name and because of its resemblance to that species, we will call it Tillandsia fasciculata ‘Yellow & Purple’. The plant is like a ‘typical’ fasciculata with an upright rosette formed of stiff, narrow leaves, but the inflorescence is rather stunning. A purple rachis with yellowish branches, showy and long lasting. If anything comes of the name, we’ll keep you posted.

A Tropiflora hybrid by Ray Lemeiux of Tillandsia concolor 'Cuicatlan' x Tillandsia fasciculata 'Tropiflora' has long stiff tapering green leaves that reach approximately 16 inches from base to tip. The inflorescence is branched with red and green bracts.

A form of the species that gains a reddish tint to the leaves, especially in strong light. Grows in a ball shape to grapefruit size, with wide strap-like leaves that twist and curl in fanciful shapes. The inflorescence is pink and branched with curling scape bracts.

The species is found from Mexico to the Northern half of Central America at or near sea level in hot, humid, brightly lit forests. The red form has been found in Belize but could occur anywhere. Grow mounted or hanging from a string so the leaves can hang in curls. Loves fertilizer and will respond by growing to impressive size.

We got this clone from Bob Spivey.

A hybrid by Lisa Vinzant. Resembles an Aechmea recurvata somewhat, but has softer leaves. Faint red bands and spots mark both sides of the leaves and the red intensifies when blooming. Makes a good terrarium plant with many water retaining leaf axials and matures at only about 8 inches tall. A shy bloomer but offsets readily.

A large, stunning cross of botterii x chiapensis, by Steve Correale. Two species of southern Mexico, each a beauty in their own right. A large plant to about 24 inches tall with silvery leaves that taper to fine points forming a graceful vase shaped rosette.

The inflorescence is multi-branched, taller than the foliage, with many short, pink branches. This is the reverse cross of ‘Mixtec Treasure’ and does not much resemble that plant.
