Tillandsia hondurensis
211
A cliff dwelling species from the high badlands of Honduras grows in a somewhat caulescent rosette with wide silvery leaves that blush pinkish when in bloom. The inflorescence is capitate on a short scape of peach colored bracts and lavender flowers. The range of this rarity from central Honduras is restricted to a few isolated limestone cliffs. The natural population has been decimated by forest fires but fortunately it is easily propagated and now grown in fairly large numbers.








Tillandsia juncea
228
A tall Tillandsia with needle-like leaves to over 18 inches. Great for using as an accent in mounted arrangements. Will eventually form a large clump. Inflorescence is simple, greenish white to pink to red in color.




Tillandsia capitata 'Hondurensis'
792
Somewhat resembles a Tillandsia brachycaulos in size and shape but less leafy. Leaves are somewhat stiff, shiny, and gray/green. The entire plant flushes pink or peach when in bloom, with a short scape. An epiphyte on shrubby trees in the scorching valleys of central Honduras. Definitely something different. Easy to grow.

It was great working with the ladies at Tropiflora. I needed to order some tillandsias for a garden club meeting. Not only did Tropiflora help me get the best plants for my presentation but also held onto them until it was time for the meeting, insuring that the plants stayed healthy. I so appreciated all their help and highly recommend this business.
