This giant clone of Tillandsia chiapensis has longer leaves and will grow taller than the typical form. Matures at approximately 18-20 inches in height and 24 inches width.

We acquired this plant from Steve Correale years ago but have not offered it to the public until now.

A large growing select clone of this species from Andy Siekkinen.  A large grower to 40 inches overall, with an upright habit. Tall, graceful leaves and a tall red-orange scape with long, narrow yellow branches. Quite the impressive specimen from Hidalgo, Mexico.

Rarely offered

A Mexican form of ionantha with the same unique characteristics as the more familiar ‘Zebrina’; that of having even breaks in the trichomes, forming a decorative banded pattern. The ‘Zebrina’ looks to be a Guatemalan form of ionantha, differing only slightly from this form. The Mexican form differs mainly in blushing much brighter red at anthesis. We found this plant when splitting a group of Mexican ionanthas quite some years ago and have propagated them since. The name is inspired by the Zebra painted donkeys used by street photographers in Tijuana.

This species is similar in some ways to Til. gurreroensis, but is smaller, with larger, almost fuzzy, trichomes. The inflorescence is simple, a pink spike with deep blue flowers. (The photo is lighter than actual) Discovered by Renate Ehlers, and named by her for her husband and collecting partner, Klaus. A rare gem.

A natural hybrid of T. beutelspacheri x flabellata, from Chiapas Mexico.
