Puya laxa

2778

$25.00

This strange species from Bolivia could easily be mistaken for a silvery Tillandsia at first glance. A few-leaved medium sized plant less than 24 inch across in a big specimen, but not full or dense. The leaves are somewhat terete and completely covered with a wool-like coat of dense silvery trichomes. A good rock garden subject that will tolerate some freezing weather and full sun. Also does well potted and is one of the few nice 'collectible' Puyas.

Tillandsia 'Audacious'

7283

$125.00

A stunning hybrid that is a happenstance of nature. We imported a number of wild bromeliads from Mexico back in the 1980's and early '90s and this plant and one or two others of apparently the same natural cross: (streptophylla x botterii) were among them.

A large grower with characteristics of both parents. The basic shape of botterii along with the shape of the inflorescence but the thick texture and silvery trichomes of streptophylla. An upright, spreading vase, bulbous at the base, with silvery, half inch wide, fairly stiff, channeled leaves. The inflorescence is large, taller than the foliage with a red rachis and long, petiolate branches that are mostly yellow. A dramatic, beautiful plant.

Tillandsia 'First Born'

1162

$60.00

This hybrid of (kolbii x bulbosa) by Grace Goode is one of only a few that she made, having been much more prolific with Neoregelia. An unusual cross using T. kolbii which is rarely seen in hybrids. (In fact, this is the only one we can find). T. kolbii is an ionantha-like, small grower and it gives its influence in the cross mainly with the inflorescence. The inflorescence is light pink, branched and held low amongst the leaves, with very long, leaf-like scape bracts. The general aspect of the plant is similar to the bulbosa parent, bulbous based, terete leaves held erect. At anthesis the scape bracts blush deep pinkish red. a

A good combination of the characteristics of both parents; somewhat bulbous based upright rosette of moderately stiff, thick textured leaves of silvery-gray color. The inflorescence is erect with long, slender, glossy branches of dark pink and yellow. Scape bracts are leaf-like. A handsome plant and easy to cultivate.

Tillandsia 'Queen Colossus'

9168

$125.00

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.
