A gray-leaved Tillandsia found growing as a lithophyte on cliffs and rarely on trees in the intermontane valleys of the Western slopes of the Andes in Ecuador and Peru. Features broad leaves tapering to a fine tip, rather soft and forming a loose rosette of recurving leaves. The inflorescence is tall, feather shaped and light pink to slightly orange. The flowers, set distichously, are greenish yellow. Easy to cultivate under typical Tillandsia conditions, mounted or in a very good draining media.
A choice hybrid from Mark Dimmit is an unusual cross of (roseoscapa x bulbosa). Taking characteristics of both parents, it has an upright vase shape with a somewhat bulbous base. Grown 'hard' the bulbous base is more pronounced. The leaves are many, semi-terete, slightly undulating and green with a light gray scurf. The inflorescence is tall with long, leaf-like scape bracts that blush pink and a cluster of six or so fairly long, upright pink branches. Flowers are light blue. Easy to grow and long lasting in color.Text
A large growing and spectacular hybrid by John Arden is a cultivar of (jalisco monticola x roland-gosselinii). A graceful, arching rosette of narrow, silvery leaves, reaching over 24 inches in diameter. The inflorescence is a tall scape to over 2 feet tall, with a cluster of inflated branches, red on the bottom becoming green on top. Very showy and long lasting in bloom.
A newer cyanea hybrid. Grows to a height of 16 inches. The inflorescence is a bright pink lavender paddle like shape. The flowers are fragrant. Grows best potted
