This Tillandsia came to our collection from the late Bill Soerries collection after his passing in 2013. There are several without names and some that have defied identification. This plant is one of those. It's an obvious hybrid with Til. ionantha, but with what? We don't know for sure. It has a short but branched inflorescence. It does not seem to match anything in the BSI Cultivar Registry.
Tillandsia 'Chickasaw Bill' (Til. ionantha x ?) The name is to honor Bill Soerries, who used to run the famous Chickasaw Club in Columbus, Georgia.
Pending registration.
