A stunning hybrid of (pseudobaileyi x streptophylla) by Robert Spivey that is a perfect balance of the two parents.  It has clean lines with a bulbous base and upright terete foliage that is slightly wavy and silvery gray.  The inflorescence is erect with several branches, slightly exceeding the foliage.  The scape and branches are bright pink becoming silvery white.  A choice hybrid and easy to grow. 

Tillandsia flabellata 'Giant Red' x concolor

*VIPP plants are in low bud

This plant is the same cross by Steve Correale; chiapensis x botterii, as ‘Mixtec Treasure’ but is a different clone. Similar in size, it is a fairly large plant to over twelve inches tall with silvery leaves can blush slightly reddish and that taper to fine points forming a graceful vase shaped rosette that spreads at anthesis. 

The inflorescence up to seven long branches and is taller than the foliage, with a central branch longer than the others. All branches are slightly secund towards the tips. The color is red on the bottom half of the branches fading to yellow on top. A coat of silver trichomes tones down the colors to pink and yellow, very attractive.

A beautiful cross of chiapensis x botterii, two southern Mexican species, by Steve Correale. A fairly large plant to over twelve inches tall with silvery leaves that taper to fine points forming a graceful vase shaped rosette. The inflorescence is multi-branched, taller than the foliage, with a central branch longer than the others, which are curved inward. The color is deep red fading slowly to greenish, all with a coat of silver trichomes, very attractive. 

A hybrid of (albertiana x stricta) by Mark Dimmitt. An interesting and somewhat variable plant with a 6 inch stem covered with dark purple-green, shiny leaves or sometimes silvery gray leaves. The inflorescence is short with red-purple or burgundy flowers. A colorful plant that makes clusters of offsets. Very easy to cultivate mounted or hanging from a string. Yet another in the 'Mystic' series of Mark Dimmitt hybrids. All have a common pollen parent, T. albertiana.  

A cross of (albertiana x muhriae) by Mark Dimmitt. An interesting plant with semi-terete succulent leaves in an attenuated rosette. The foliage is reddish-green, finely lineated and loosely arranged on a 3 to 4 inch stem. Large deep pink flowers. Seldom offered. 

Tillandsia brachycaulos × Tillandsia fasciculata

A John Arden hybrid of (jalisco-monticola x capitata). A tough and showy plant with leathery reddish leaves in a symmetrical, very leafy rosette. The inflorescence is a tight cluster of many dark orange branches in a capitate head with long scape bracts exceeding the branches. Very long lasting in color. A heavy plant, tough and sturdy, easy to grow. Grows well mounted or potted in a fast draining mix with good aeration. 

Somewhat of a mystery. This plant came to us as T. 'Oregon' with the cross listed as (streptophylla x pseudobaileyi). In checking, we noted a cross by Mark Dimmitt called 'Gorgon' and thought perhaps that ours was a case of mistaken identity or misspelling. On closer examination though, while similar, ours has flatter leaves, not terete as with 'Gorgon' and a taller inflorescence. The inflorescence is a tall scape with long, leaf-like scape bracts and a cluster of upright angled, pink branches. It appears to have T. balbisiana in its parentage but that is not reported on the label. Very attractive and long lasting in color. Easily forms substantial clusters. So, the mystery continues. 

A handsome miniature hybrid by Mark Dimmitt using Tillandsia ionantha crossed with funckiana, both red-blushing species. The hybrid is somewhat caulescent with densely packed, short, succulent leaves on a 3 inch stem. The plant can blush bronzy-red in strong light especially if not over fed, but at anthesis it blushes somewhat crimson. The flowers are compact and purple in color. Easily forms small clumps after anthesis.
