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.
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
