Bill Timm’s hybrid of Tillandsia ionantha ‘Druid’ x ionantha v. vanhyningii, looks pretty much like a large vanhyningii. If this plant had turned out with a yellow blush instead of red, more like the ‘Druid’ parent, then this would have been a show stopper. But alas it isn’t yellow, but it is still a very nice, compact and colorful plant as you can see by the photo. 

A hybrid of (stricta x duratii) by Patterson. A caulescent plant to 18 inches, with a great many narrow, deeply channeled, curling, soft, silvery leaves that form a twisted cluster. The inflorescence is about 10 to 12 inches long, branched and produces open, purple flowers with a slight fragrance, though it is a reluctant bloomer. 

An Australian made hybrid of (intermedia x ionantha) by Margaret Paterson. If you are familiar with T. intermedia, you will know that it is a famously proliferating plant, producing offsets from the top of the inflorescence as well as from the base. Well this plant combined with ionantha has produced some unusual but possible predictable results. Singly the plants look a bit like a tall ionantha and upon blooming it will blush red. However it will often surprise and delight by producing one or more offsets from the apex of the plant and successive bloomings will produce an odd, connected cluster of plants.

A beautiful cross by Bob Spivey of (roland-gosselinii x chiapensis). It has the fuzzy, velvety look of chiapensis, but an inflorescence that betrays the cross. A fairly short red scape bearing long branches that are red on bottom and bright green on top, with blue flowers. The foliage is silvery, tinted pinkish in strong light. A real beauty. About 16 to 18 inches wide and nearly as tall when in bloom. 

A hybrid of (stricta x edithae) by Margaret Patterson. This is one of those rare kinds of hybrids that when you see it bloom for the first time, you can't believe how stunning and unique it is. A very leafy, full rosette of many fairly stiff leaves that are dark silvery gray and fairly lepidote. The inflorescence is outstanding, brilliant red bracts in a cylindrical inflorescence with dark purple flowers. A gem. 

 

This is an especially large and robust form of this species that came originally from Argentina. T. didisticha is one of the most sought Tillandsias for collections. A lovely medium sized plant usually to about 6 to 12 inches, this form can grow to about 16 inches across with a bloom spike of lovely pink to almost coral colored branches and white flowers. Stays in color for many months. Easy to grow, prefers bright conditions, on the dry side. Very cold tolerant to near freezing with no distress.

A somewhat controversial species, we originally obtained this plant as Tillandsia pucaraensis and have kept the original name. From Northern Peru with semi-soft gray foliage and a branched pink inflorescence, the narrow leaves form a leafy, upright rosette.

We have different clones from other growers but this one most closely agrees with Ehlers' original description and many other illustrated pucaraensis. There is no way for us to resolve the question of guelzii or pucaraensis but we can refer you to the Florida Council of Bromeliad Societies website for further discussion.

Our original photo (shown with bloom spike) is of a wild-collected plant. Our current generation of plants (photo without inflorescence) are much more lush due to the excellent care of our Tillandsia grower, Veronica, and her crew.
