An interesting sport of the species, this produces a white inflorescence rather than the usual pink. Only a few available.

A dramatic Steve Correale cross of Till. chiapensis x Till. botteri. This is a grex sibling to T. 'King Cobra', with differences mainly found in the overall size of the plant and shape of the inflorescence. A large grower with a loose rosette shape that can reach 20 inches across and 20 inches tall.  The leaves are thick and leathery, heavily scurfed with silver trichomes, silvery but tinting pinkish-red in strong light.  The inflorescence can be 30 inches tall with long, thick, upright and curving branches of dark pink-red.

A handsome cross of Tillandsia tricolor x fasciculata by Bill Timm. The same cross and a similar plant to T. ‘Ervin Wurthman’. A robust plant to about 24 inches tall, with narrow, gracefully arching reddish, somewhat silver dusted leaves in an upright rosette. The inflorescence is a tall red and yellow scape that is usually well branched.

Tillandsia brachycaulos × Tillandsia fasciculata

An unknown hybrid we received years ago, labeled T. kegeliana hybrid. Our best guess would factor in T. fasciculata Costa Rica, as well. First release of this beauty!

Another lovely hybrid by Paul Isley of xerographica x rothii.

A pretty caulescent hybrid of Till. albida x funckiana. 

An impressive hybrid of Tillandsia fasciculata x ionantha by Mark Dimmitt. 

A natural hybrid of Tillandsia gardneri x stricta. The native range of this hybrid is southeast Brazil.

The Florida native form of this widespread species which has a range that runs from Florida and the Bahamas to Northern South America. An upright, tubular, vase-shaped plant with broadly tapering, spiraled leaves. The color is brownish-green with a coating of silver trichomes that normally forms in bands. The inflorescence is tall, thin and usually branched, normally green in Florida, but can be reddish sometimes. The flowers are arranged at right angles and are rosy/pink. Often a twig epiphyte in nature, it is easy to grow mounted. Keep warm, (above 40's) as this is an especially tropical species that in Florida is restricted to the southern Everglades and coastal regions of South Florida.
