A large plant with an unusual cross. The parent; Tillandsia limbata, is rarely seen in hybrids. It gives size to the cross as well as the long, strappy leaves forming a rosette to about 24 inches across with green leaves that are silvery on the undersides. The inflorescence is tall with many upright, narrow branches held close to the rachis. The branches are green but trend slightly towards yellow-orange in color and the scape bracts are long but only green.
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
