Tillandsia 'Shining Star' is a striking cross of recurvifolia x tectorum with silvery-gray soft leaves that form a full rosette. The inflorescence is deep pink with slightly lavender flowers.

Tillandsia chiapensis x 'Tropiflora'

A Frank Messina hybrid that most likely includes some combination of Tillandsia capitata, concolor or fasciculata. A symmetrical open rosette similar in shape to T. fasciculata produces a bronze-peachy capitate head of tight branches when in bloom. Unusual and pretty.

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.

A nice cross of T. (chiapensis x fasciculata) with stiff trichome-covered grayish-green leaves. The inflorescence is in the shape of a fasciculata and branched but light pink in color like the chiapensis bloom.

Beautiful cross of T. rothii x concolor with the plant reaching a height and diameter of 12 inches.

*VIPP plants are not in bud

A caulescent species from Brazil with dark, recurved greenish leaves on a 6 to 8 in stem. The inflorescence is a simple red spike which stays in color for months. Forms large clusters and does well mounted.

A large growing and spectacular hybrid by John Arden is a cultivar of (jalisco monticola x roland-gosselinii). A graceful, arching rosette of narrow, silvery leaves, reaching over 24 inches in diameter. The inflorescence is a tall scape to over 2 feet tall, with a cluster of inflated branches, red on the bottom becoming green on top. Very showy and long lasting in bloom. 

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!
