A cultivar of (capitata ‘Peach’ x concolor). A handsome, medium sized plant with an open rosette shape of fairly stiff, recurving, channeled, gray leaves. The inflorescence is about 12 inches tall, with long bracts and a clustered head of short, shiny, reddish branches and beautiful blue flowers. The upper part of the plant blushes peach color at anthesis.
This is a cross of stricta x vernicosa that came to us under formula without any specified hybridizer. We are therefore taking this one at ‘face value’ so to speak. A leafy, upright, funnel form rosette of fairly narrow, semi-stiff, gray green leaves that tint dark reddish in strong light.
The inflorescence is pink and forms a scape with tight branches bearing white flowers. Long lasting in color.

A hybrid of T. chiapensis x capitata 'Rubra' (Chiapas) by Pamela Koide-Hyatt that is a good representation of both parents. It has the overall shape of the capitata parent; an upright rosette of arching leaves and an inflorescence that is a cluster of branches forming a tight head, with long, curling scape bracts. The leaves are thick and leathery, like the chiapensis parent, and keep the pinkish-silver coloration. The branches are bright, silvery pink. Plant is 25 cm tall with spike, 35-40 cm diameter. Triangular leaves, to 20 cms. long, are covered with fine dense trichomes. Leaf bases are 3.5-4 cm wide. Short, semi-recessed, slightly-branched pink spathe has purple petals. Differs from hybrid T. 'Coconut Grove' as T. 'Pink Sorbet' is always pink, never red and a different clone/color of the variable species Tillandsia capitata used as pollen parent.
C.I.T.E.S. - Theharrisii parent makes this plant ineligible for shipping outside of the U.S. Sorry!
(One of the parent crosses, harrisii, is on CITES)
This is a natural hybrid of (capitata x harrisii) from Guatemala. An open rosette with white lepidote foliage that blushes pink in bloom to over 12 inches across. Blue flowers. Very attractive and long lasting.
A Tillandsia cultivar by Paul Isley III of T. concolor x ionantha. This plant is about three to four inches tall with upright, stiff leaves that are silvery-green with a dark blackish flush in strong light. I can blush red at anthesis. The inflorescence is branched but held low in the foliage as with most ionantha hybrids. Flowers are purple and tubular in shape. Pups freely. Easy to grow.
I'm very happy to receive the T. 'PJ's Prize'. Thank you very much.

A clone of (seleriana x tricolor) by Bill Timm. A unusual hybrid that produces a bulbous base with upright, terete leaves dusted with silvery trichomes. The inflorescence is branched, rose-red with blue flowers and emerges from the leaves to one side of the rosette.
Our expert tillandsia grower spotted this clone mixed in with our very first batch of Tillandsia 'Eric Knobloch' and has been growing it, aside, for years. We finally separated it from the named hybrid and gave it it's own name. This clone of brachycaulos x streptophylla is darker and more purpleand just slightly smaller in size. An open rosette of light green, curling, silvery dusted leaves form a somewhat bulbous base. An inflorescence that has long, dark lavender blushing bracts and a tight cluster of violet branches rises about 5 inches above the foliage. A handsome, easy to grow and prolific plant.
A dramatic Steve Correale cross of Till. chiapensis x Till. botteri. This is a grex sibling to T. 'King Cobra', with differences mainly found in the overall size of the plant and shape of the inflorescence. A large grower with a loose rosette shape that can reach 20 inches across and 20 inches tall. The leaves are thick and leathery, heavily scurfed with silver trichomes, silvery but tinting pinkish-red in strong light. The inflorescence can be 30 inches tall with long, thick, upright and curving branches of dark pink-red.
