This is the darkest form of T. aeranthos with dark gray leaves that can turn almost black in certain conditions.

This is an especially large and robust form of this species that came originally from Argentina. T. didisticha is one of the most sought Tillandsias for collections. A lovely medium sized plant usually to about 6 to 12 inches, this form can grow to about 16 inches across with a bloom spike of lovely pink to almost coral colored branches and white flowers. Stays in color for many months. Easy to grow, prefers bright conditions, on the dry side. Very cold tolerant to near freezing with no distress.

A species with long very thin, grassy leaves, that are stiff, succulent and form a spreading, funnelform rosette. Closely resembling Tillandsia hammeri, it differs in being larger, more spreading, less silvery and stoloniferous. The inflorescence has more and wider branches but is more compact and taller, among other differences. Native to limestone outcrops near Nizanda, Oaxaca, Mexico, it was first collected by Ehlers and only described in 2016. The many leaves form an upright rosette to nearly two feet tall with an erect inflorescence of pink bracts and deep violet flowers.

This is an unidentified species that is at least similar to fasciculata and with a ‘Pink & Green’ inflorescence. We have had this for many years and in the interim have lost the locality data for it. We believe that this was originally from Mexico, but may be mistaken. Too bad, because this data is important when trying to identify plants. At any rate, this is a nice and colorful, fairly large-growing Tillandsia worthy of space in your collection!
