A complete unknown. This lovely plant has been growing in our collection for at least 20 years without an identification. A long, leafy, almost fasciculata looking plant that produces striking yellow-orange multi-branched inflorescence.
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.

A very attractive Colombian species with a showy spike of inflated branches of bright orange-red, that persists for some months. Growing to about 10in with dark green foliage in an upright rosette. Easy to grow, thriving potted in an orchid-type mix or mounted.
This lovely hybrid was made here at Tropiflora in 2013-2014 by Tropiflora employee Ray Lemieux, crossing exserta x chiapensis. Favoring the exserta parent in appearance this plant matures at a foot tall but the 2-foot tall inflorescence calls to mind the chiapensis parent with its soft pink scurfy bracts.
This Tillandsia came to our collection from the late Bill Soerries collection after his passing in 2013. There are several without names and some that have defied identification. This plant is one of those. It's an obvious hybrid withTil. ionantha, but with what? We don't know for sure. It has a short but branched inflorescence. It does not seem to match anything in the BSI Cultivar Registry.
Tillandsia 'Chickasaw Bill' (Til. ionanthax ?) The name is to honor Bill Soerries, who used to run the famous Chickasaw Club in Columbus, Georgia.
