A miniature plant from Paraguay where it grows mostly as a lithophyte on exposed rocks. It has a thickly bulbous shape and short, sharply recurving spiny leaves. The color is green until blooming, when the plant blushes deep red to orange and produces red flowers. Grows well potted or mounted. It is quite cold hardy.

A choice miniature from Mexico that grows in a full compact rosette to about 6 inches. The stiff leaves are very thick and succulent terminating in a sharp spine. With age the plant develops white filaments along the leaf margins, which grow fairly long and curl. This form has bold creamy white variegation along the margins. Cold hardy for gardens to freezing and just below. Small enough and slow enough for pot culture.

A variegated Dyckia hybrid of unknown parentage, originating in a seed batch by the late David Meade of Texas. A nice narrow leaved Dyckia with glossy, burgundy-chestnut leaves with bold yellow and orange variegation. Fully variegated plants are exceedingly rare.

This is a hybrid from Bryan Chan. A large growing plant with rosettes up to 14 inches across. The brown leaves have silver gray edges. A nice plant for the terrestrial collector.

A hybrid that we obtained without any information as to what the cross is or the hybridizer. Large growing green leaf plant that turns deep purple is strong bright light. Grows to 18 inches across. The glossy leaves slightly recurve and have noticeable spines along the edges.

A species Dyckia from a rock outcropping in the cerrado, Brazil endemic to the state of Goyas. This was a special cultivar selected by Bill Baker for having pink spines.

A hybrid of arequitae x stricta. A robust cross forming a very leafy, silvery-green rosette with a tall, unbranched inflorescence. The inflorescence has subtle pale peach bracts and large light blue flowers. A strong grower that likes bright light and airy conditions.

A spectacular, large, red-bracted cultivar of ‘Houston‘ (stricta x recurvifolia) a popular Mark Dimmitt hybrid. A very leafy 8 inch, gray-green rosette, with a large, full inflorescence of bright red bracts and flaring white flowers. 

A spectacular cross by Steve Correale of (chiapensis x fasciculata ‘Magnificent’) SC. A good blend of the parents; the basic shape of a fasciculata, but with more ‘substance’ and scurffing, like the chiapensis parent. The inflorescence has the shape of the fasciculata, which is an outstanding form native to northern Panama, but is a bit thicker and dusted with the silver thichomes of chiapensis. When well grown, one of the most spectacular of Tillandsias.

From Bolivia and adjacent Argentina and Paraguay, is one of the most sought Tillandsias for collections. A lovely medium sized plant to about 8 inches, 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.

A large-growing Tillandsia that fits closer with fasciculata than anything else, with silvery-gray leaves to 24 inches long in a very large and full rosette. The inflorescence is massive, reaching well above the foliage on a thick scape, supporting a head of up to 20 fat bright-red braches up to 8 inches long and an inch thick.

The inflorescence lasts in good color for over a year. A likely natural hybrid of fasciculata x compressa that we got from Jamaica over 40 years ago.
