A choice Guatemalan form that grows vase-shaped, with the leaf tips curving outward. Rather large for an ionantha, at about 3 inches. Light green, blushing brilliant red in bloom. A very nice form.
Beautiful colors love them and I will definitely buy some more!

We acquired this plant from a private collector in 2019. A very nice hybrid of T. rothii x brachycaulos, this plant has characteristics of both parents. The size and shape of T. rothii with wide lime-green recurving leaves forming an open rosette; the inflorescence grows tall with purple flowers at the tip. When in bloom the top leaves flush the vivid cherry-red of the T. brachycaulos parent.
Tillandsia 'Marvelous Masterpiece' is a beautifully shaped healthy plant. Even though the shipping box had been partially smashed, the plants inside were well packaged and undamaged. Thank you, Tropiflora!

A pretty hybrid by John Arden dating back to the 1970's.
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.
We discovered this natural hybrid in the greenhouse where our flexuosas grow, directly alongside our streptophyllas. A giant grower (flexuosa 'Giant Form' x streptophylla) named for its huge size and regal appearance. Mature plants measure 2 ft wide and 3 ft tall. The inflorescence is a single spike with multiple branches and a dark dusky pink with purple blooms. Spectacular.
A cultivar of (albida x streptophylla) by Bill Timm. A good combination of parents with the plant most closely resembling the T. streptophylla parent with broad, channeled leaves heavily coated with silver trichomes. The leaves do not tend to curl as strongly as streptophylla but the base does form a bulbous shape. The plant forms an open rosette to about 12 inches or a little larger. The inflorescence is very tall with long, slender, pink branches held upright. The branching and coloration is a vestige of the streptophylla DNA but the slender nature is strictly from the albida parent.

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 received my large T. Red Robin and it is outstanding!!!

One of the more unusual forms of the widely diverse latifolia group. An open rosette of wide, succulent leaves with a rose colored inflorescence that is very long lasting and attractive. A rare lithophytic species restricted to a few canyons of northern Peru. A rock dweller with a shrinking range due in part to the damming of the Chancay, the plant makes a spectacular specimen. Grown into a second generation the plants take on a special beauty, responding well to fertilizer and minimal care. Mostly mature plants, seldom seen in collections. A slow grower but worth the wait!

A Mexican species from Sinaloa state, our plant is a piece of the type plant collected by Harry Luther in 1993 and described in 1997. A clumping 'needle leaved' species that closely resembles the Florida endemic simulata. Tapering leaves are quite succulent and densely lepidote. The inflorescence is about as long as the foliage with up to six branches, silvery lepidote over green and bearing tubular purple flowers. Found in clusters growing on Bombax trees at about 3,500 feet of altitude.

This is the darkest form of T. aeranthos with dark gray leaves that can turn almost black in certain conditions.
A rarity in cultivation. This one comes from Morro do Chapeu, Brazil. It is very similar in appearance to Tillandsia gardneri. It has narrower leaves and is more robust. It has a erect inflorescence with 6 to 8 branches. The bracts are pink with scurf and the petals are pink.
