A hybrid of (capitata x streptophylla). An extraordinary beauty that takes on a bulbous shape with wide, recurving, curling leaves coated with silvery scurf.

The inflorescence is fairly short with long, curling scape bracts and a tightly clustered head of red branches and light blue flowers. The whole plant takes on a reddish-peach blush at anthesis. A choice plant.

This hybrid by Bill Timm is a cultivar of (chiapensis x roland-gosselinii). One of those ‘dream crosses’ using two fantastic plants as parents and getting stunning results. The hybrid is right down the line between the two, taking on the silver leaves and inflorescence shape of the chiapensis parent and the size, and inflorescence coloration closer to the roland-gosselinii parent. Reaching a full 30 inches across, the plant is impressive for size alone, but can also stay in bloom for months. A great plant. 

Tillandsia 'Majestic' (chiapensis x concolor 'red Spiked form') cross by Mark Dimmitt. A beautiful plant with thick green foliage and long narrow cherry red spikes.

A cute little cross of edithae x albertiana with stiff narrow leaves that produces a short spike of stunning scarlet red flowers of the albertiana type.

A fairly large hybrid by Luis Ariza, (brachycaulos x fasciculata), to about 10 to 16 inches with many leaves in a spreading rosette. The leaves are somewhat softer than a fasciculata and dusted with silvery scurf. The inflorescence is a cluster of short red branches on a red scape, with long scape bracts that blush reddish too. The flowers are exceptionally long, tubular and light bluish purple. An easy grower that does well mounted. 

A cultivar of (baileyi x capitata Marron) by Bill Timm. The basic shape of the baileyi parent, but much larger and more robust. The capitata parent shows up mainly in the shape of the inflorescence which is a cluster of short branches in a tight head with long, leaf-like bracts. The color at anthesis depends on the degree of light and feeding, being pinkish to orange. 

A nice hybrid by Bill Timm, ('Rio Hondo’ X capitata ‘Red’). A medium sized plant with greenish foliage and a red capitate inflorescence.

A stunning hybrid of (pseudobaileyi x streptophylla) by Robert Spivey that is a perfect balance of the two parents.  It has clean lines with a bulbous base and upright terete foliage that is slightly wavy and silvery gray.  The inflorescence is erect with several branches, slightly exceeding the foliage.  The scape and branches are bright pink becoming silvery white.  A choice hybrid and easy to grow. 

A handsome hybrid of (capitata x fasciculata ‘Magnificent’) by Steve Correale with a 20 inch spreading rosette of fasciculata-type foliage, stiff and rather narrow, reddish and showing some banding on the undersides. The inflorescence is a red spike of short branches reaching about 10 inches tall.
