A Mexican plant with very stiff leaves in an open rosette of 6 to 8 inches. The leaves are yellowish, blushing reddish in strong light or full sun and it produces a shiny red to yellow-green, branched inflorescence with pink flowers. Easy to grow, preferring conditions on the bright and dry side. Can be suspended from a string or mounted on wood, cork, stone or other substrate. Suitable for dry terrarium use.

A tall Tillandsia with needle-like leaves to over 18 inches. Great for using as an accent in mounted arrangements. Will eventually form a large clump. Inflorescence is simple, greenish white to pink to red in color.

A very handsome species from Veracruz, Mexico where it lives in deciduous, tropical forest at low altitudes. Resembles a brachycaulos, but differs morphologically. Forming a 6 to 8 inch rosette of wide light green, glossy leaves, it flushes deep red all over when in bloom. No visible scape, many blue flowers. One of the most dramatic color changes in the bromeliad world. Easy grower, grow mounted or in a basket or other place where it can get good air circulation.
