An interesting hybrid from Bird Rock Tropicals. The foliage blushes bright red when blooming.

Tillandsia schatzlii x kuzmae

C.I.T.E.S. - No Export, sorry.

A spectacular large-growing tillandsia, created here at Tropiflora in 2017 by Ray Lemieux. We've been waiting for a special reason to release this one and we think our 50th anniversary is the right time.

Tillandsia kruseana x copanensis. The kruseana parent is on C.I.T.E.S. so no export.

C.I.T.E.S. - No Export, sorry.

A beauty! This gorgeous hybrid was created here at Tropiflora in 2016 by Ray Lemieux. The plant itself is stunning but the golden tips on the inflorescence reminded us of something. Hmm what else can it be but a golden anniversary! 

Tillandsia kruseana x chiapensis Large form. The kruseana parent is on C.I.T.E.S. so no export.

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

duratii v. saxatilis x purpurea

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

A cute, sport of Tillandsia ionantha 'Rubra', that we dubbed 'Han' in honor of our own special Han!

The giant growing version of T. 'Imbroglio'. A probable cross of (duratii x stricta). A rosette-shaped plant with narrow, stiff, silvery-gray, succulent leaves spanning 16 inches. The inflorescence is an arching, branched panicle, purple in color with open, purplish flowers that have a fragrance similar to the duratii parent, but not as strong.

A beautiful and robust species from Chiapas, Mexico. Similar in some aspects to Tillandsia fasciculata var. fasciculata to which it is certainly closely related, it is maintained as a distinct species nonetheless. Having a bumpy and confused start including a name change by Matuda and being mis-assigned to the wrong subfamily by Lyman Smith, it remains a species of taxonomic contention. Found only in the vicinity of Sumidero Canyon, it lives mainly as a lithophyte on canyon walls, forming clusters of several to many plants. The foliage is stiff, narrowly triangular, greenish above and silvery below and up to two feet long. The inflorescence is taller than the rosette, erect at first and bearing up to a dozen narrow, bright yellow branches and blue-violet flowers. A choice species that is not very commonly available.
