A cultivar of (stricta x aeranthos) by Woods. It is a medium sized plant to about six inches across with narrow, silvery-green leaves. The inflorescence is very colorful, dark pink bracts and deep, inky-blue flowers. Grows easily mounted and will form attractive clusters. 

Tillandsia 'Kaylan' (caputmedusae x baileyi) A cute hybrid with a nice mix of both parents. An easy grower, likes bright filtered light.

An interesting hybrid of (capitata x extensa) by Steve Correale. Steve has been a fairly prolific hybridizer over the years but has registered few of his crosses. He does them to please himself, which is not such a bad thing, and doesn’t care much for naming them.

This plant has much more the look of the extensa parent, with long, narrow leaves and an excessively long inflorescence. Very long, pink and silver scape bracts and upright pink branches clustered at the top of the scape make it a showy plant. The foliage is dark reddish-brown but subtle, coated with silver trichomes that give it a pinkish tint. Easy to grow mounted. 

This is a plant that has been in our collection for some time without a positive identification. We had obtained this plant originally as Til. pucarensis to which it certainly has some resemblance, but it is somewhat larger, leafier and has a larger and more heavily branched inflorescence.

We have shared pieces of this plant with others familiar with the species and all agree that pucarensis is not a good fit. However there is no other species which seems a good fit either. We now suspect that this may be a natural hybrid, perhaps between pucarensis and the small form of floribunda, but it cannot be known for sure. Therefore we have chosen to give it a cultivar name in order to keep track of it in a less confusing way.

(flabellata x fasciculata)

Bill Timm’s hybrid is a cultivar of (caputmedusae x streptophylla). Most definitely a hybrid, but showing little influence of the streptophylla parent. It has a bulbous base and terete leaves but they are not as curly as caputmedusae or streptophylla or hardly at all. The inflorescence is tall with upright branches that are slender and glabrous, mainly orange in color. A truly handsome plant that is easy to cultivate. 

An especially cute little hybrid by Paul Isley. A cultivar of Tillandsia pueblensis x ionantha. Like most Tillandisa hybrids with ionantha, it tends to favor that species. However, it does have a good resemblance to the pueblensis parent with longer, thicker leaves. The overall shape is upright with a long stem and three inch, deeply channeled leaves tapering to a point growing upright along the stem. The color is deep green dusted with abundant silvery trichomes.

The inflorescence, deep rose in color, is a short, upright, scape rising slightly above the foliage. Flowers are deep blue. Forms clusters and will tint slightly in bright light but does not blush when blooming. A great little plant.  

A nice hybrid of apparently (pseudobaileyi x intermedia) by an unknown hybridizer and registered by Bill Timm. Larger than either parent, it grows to about 18 inches tall. The leaves are terete, green and slightly silvery and the base is bulbous. The inflorescence is most like that of pseudobaileyi, erect, stiff, laxly branched and pink with silver trichomes. 

*REDUCED PRICE

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. 

A natural hybrid of (ehlersiana x streptophylla) from Chiapas, Mexico. There are those that believe that T. ehlersiana is itself a hybrid, so it is not surprising that it would hybridize with other plants sharing the same habitat. This plant looks like an ehlersiana in general aspect, a fat-bottomed beauty with wider, contorted, deeply channeled leaves, silvery all over with a more open, pretty pink inflorescence. 

A lovely hybrid of concolor x xerographica by Paul Isley. With the xerographica parent showing, this plant is on C.I.T.E.S.

A cross of (ionantha ‘red’ x bulbosa lg form) by Bill Timm. Kind of unique we think because usually anything crossed with ionantha ends up looking more like a big ionantha.  Tillandsia ‘Luke’ is an exception, with a bulbous base and upright habit, it resembles the bulbosa parent.  More silvery than green it also has many more leaves than a bulbosa. 

When blooming the whole upper whorl of leaves and the inflorescence blushes red with blue flowers.  It is a stunning plant, not large, but showy.
