A colorful hybrid by Bill Timm of (capitata ‘Dominguensis’ x ionantha ‘Fuego’ BT). Like all or nearly all T. ionantha hybrids it most resembles that parent. An upright, vase shaped plant with many tapering, narrow leaves that are red-green with a coating of silver trichomes, but blush deep red towards anthesis. The inflorescence is low in the leaves, a head of deep blue flowers. We raised these here from seed that Bill Timm supplied to us.

Tillandsia exserta features a unique and slender shape, with white, arching leaves and a red inflorescence with violet flowers. This species grows in the drier, hotter conditions of Mexico. A unique species of Tillandsia.

A tuft of soft, wide, silvery leaves and an erect to nodding inflorescence of pink with pink flowers. A forest dweller native Brazil to Venezuela. Our clone is a large growing, beautifully shaped form from Brazil, seed grown in cultivation. Grows best mounted in an airy location, out of direct sun.

We have had this plant for quite a few years, having acquired it as T. ionantha ‘Snake’. It appears to be a hybrid with ionantha as one parent, but the other is unknown. Sometimes growing conditions will cause ionantha varieties to grow excessively long, but this one grows and grows under normal greenhouse conditions here in Florida. Aside from the long stem, which can reach well over 24 inches, it has narrow, fleshy leaves, hundreds of them, along the stem. The foliage is silvery gray and the inflorescence is a short scape of tight pink branches that barely exerts itself above the foliage. Offsets form along the stem at irregular intervals. An oddity worth growing. 

A natural hybrid of (utriculata x fasciculata) known from the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Our plants originated on the island of St. John in the vicinity of Cinnamon Bay where the only two possible parents of this beauty occur side by side.

Taking the best of both parents, it has an inflorescence much larger and more branched than fasciculata, but much more colorful than utriculata. It does offset, though it may wait until the inflorescence is almost finished. Very rarely seen in any collections. We have two clones in our collection, and this one is by far the best.

An unusual cross of (Neo. 'Royal Cordovan' x Nid. rutilans) by Paul Wingert. xNiduregelia hybrids are quite unusual and most are rather ho-hum, but this is a real beauty. A symmetrical rosette of fairly wide leaves is greenish-purple, blushing bright red-purple with maturity and good light. The inflorescence is nested in the cup, with prominent but neat bracts visible. At anthesis, the cup flushes deep purple.

One fantastic plant! This is a cross of Neo ‘Royal Burgundy‘ with Sincoraea navioides, made by Herb Hill. A mature plant can reach over 30 inches across with dozens of deep-burgundy leaves in a dense rosette. One of the best-ever xSincoregelias. Can adapt to full sun and makes a great landscape plant.
