The best of all the Amazonian Hylaeaicums (formerly Neoregelias), a little flask-shaped plant with a cherry red center, growing on two foot stolons. A superb hanging basket plant. Imagine a cascading cluster of these little jewels, truly a sight to behold. Unlike many Neos, thrives on frequent fertilization and abundant watering.
Size can vary greatly with the amount of water and feeding, growing quite small and tight when grown hard and very long leaved and luxuriant when fed heavily.
When I unboxed Ms Hylaeaicum, my partner gasped and said, “What a beauty!” Brilliant red vase, filled with tiny white flowers. Gleaming green foliage. Even several incipient offsets! She’s smallish, but full of charm and potential. Go, Hylaeaicum! Go Tropiflora!!

Another Great plant
Arrived quickly and packed Very Good. Beautiful plant
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.
Commonly referred to as 'Pink Quill'. Native to Ecuador, but ubiquitous in collections across the globe. One of the finest natural species to be discovered, it has been in cultivation well over one hundred years, and many selected clones have been developed. The plant is sub-mesic, thriving potted in moist, open-shaded conditions.
Bright light turns the paddle-shaped inflorescence a deep and vivid pink. The large, deep purple flowers are highly fragrant with the scent of cloves or cinnamon. Red-striated green leaves. A must for all collections. Grow in bright shade and keep moist.
First purchase of this type of plant and it is in a bedroom under a grow light and misted 2-3 times a day and seems happy. Waiting for it to bloom

A Beauty at a Bargain Price
Perfect condition, bloom about halfway open, so I will get to enjoy the maximum show. Only $10 at the retail store. I don't have much luck with getting them to rebook, but I have 2 or 3 that are still otherwise doing great after probably 3-4 years, and they make lovely foliage in any case.

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.
An albomarginated clone of Cryptanthus zonatus (aka fosterianus). Growing from 18 inches to 24 inches across, the leaves are a chocolate brown in color with hot pink margins. There are regularly spaced silver bands across the leaves. Truly one of the best Cryptanthus to have!
Beautiful plant! Stands out in my waterfall rock garden.

Native to the Andes of Venezuela, this cliff dweller is one of the jewels of the genus. A caulescent plant forming large clumps in just a few years, has fine, needle-like leaves about 3/4 inch long which flush red when blooming. The flower is a single, red, slightly flaring tube. A clump in bloom is a sight to behold! Flowers at various times throughout the warm months. A must for any collection, simply hang from a wire, grow it bright, water and fertilize frequently, allow to dry quickly.
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.
