A cliff-dwelling species from central Mexico; San Luis Potosi, Queretaro, and Hidalgo. Possibly because of its pupping habit, unlike typical monocarpic utriculata, it is popular with hobbyists and easy to grow. A decorative species, with many leaves in an upright rosette, grayish silver and rather thin. The inflorescence is branched and red to orange or pink, with green and pale green, whitish flowers. Many offsets proliferate at the base of this subspecies and form a dense cluster in time. These little pups can be removed to start new plants at a very small size. Grows best mounted in bright light.
Tropiflora's miniature zoo features lions, tigers, elephants, giraffes, cheetah and even a panda. Made of resin, measures 5 inches tall. You can get them with or without plants.

Tillandsia ‘Red Robin’ (T. streptophylla 'Red' Belize (ex Bob Spivey) x T. streptophylla 'Red' (ex Steve Correale) is a Tropifloracultivar by Ray Lemieux, resulting from a series of crosses between several Tillandsia streptophyllas originating in Belize. The best of those, with reddish coloration, were crossed with ‘Spivey Belize Red’ (not sure if this is a registered plant. A clone of T. streptophylla). Selections of that cross were crossed with a red clone from Steve Correale. Select plants from that grex were crossed with another T. streptophylla called ‘Jim Irvin’s Pink. Best of that grex was crossed with another Tropiflora plant we call ‘Silver Fuzzy’ in 2017 (also not registered, a one-of). The best, reddest of that grex was selected to become ‘Red Robin’.
The plant is large and robust, with leaves that curl tightly, 17 inches long, 1.5 inches wide. A typical blooming plant, with spike, is 23 inches tall, with an inflorescence 17 inches tall with reddish-pink, 6-inch, curly bracts, and bearing a dozen or more silvery-pink branches. The bulbous base is approximately 6 x 6 inches.
A choice form that takes on a good red coloration in strong light.
I’ｍ satisfied because I received a larger plant than I expected.
It's a wonderful color.

Growing in an upright rosette with half-inch wide leaves up to 15 inches long or more, it produces a very large, branched, orange-red inflorescence that rises well above the foliage. Can be grown potted or mounted, it is a sub-mesic species. Rarely seen, four nice plants, not in bud.

A cultivar of the cross (‘Houston’ x leonamiana) by Paul Isley. A large growing beauty that exceeds the size of either parent plant, with many more leaves and a larger inflorescence. Very leafy, with literally hundreds of narrow, silvery leaves in a full rosette. The inflorescence has rose bracts and white flowers and is stunning. This is a truly spectacular plant that deserves its name!

A three inch ball of silvery needles with a bright orange, six inch bloom spike. That about sums up this beautiful Mexican miniature Tillandsia from southwest Mexico. Native to medium altitudes in semi-arid, deciduous forests, this plants loves bright light and breezy conditions. Ageotropic, it can grow in any direction and is often found growing upside down in nature. This species used to be quite common in the trade, but when Mexico closed down to collecting some years back, only captive-bred plants are available and this is not noted to be a fast grower. Easy to cultivate, best mounted.
