A very nice species, considered by some to be superior to punctatissima ‘Yellow’. Easier to grow than that form, with less cultural problems. A thicker plant with yellow color and tiny red bands. Plant matures at 3 inches high and 2 to 3 inches across. This form of the species was originally collected in Brazil by Bob Work.

A new species that was released for the first time anywhere by Tropiflora. Described in 2011 by Leme & L. Kollmann, it’s large growing plant with four inch wide leaves found in Atlantic Forest habitat in Espiritu Santo and adjacent Bahia states of Brazil. Light green colored leaves that have dark green mottling throughout. In the newer growth the leaves develop white and pink colored patches and the older lower leaves turn a tan color. The leaf edges are heavily armed with large black hooked spines. Truly a rarity and a great addition to ones bromeliad collection.

A hybrid of (Orthophytum horridum x lemei) by Ray Lemieux. Though both species are somewhat similar in shape, the color of the leaves and texture are quite different. The resulting cross was a nice surprise, dark chocolate-brown leaves, stiff and heavily armed in an upright to spreading rosette. The inflorescence is beautiful for an Orthophytum, a reddish scape with somewhat strobilate branches with red floral bracts and white flowers.

A cute miniature from Sao Paulo, Brazil where it is found growing in rainforest remnants. Growing to only about 6 or 8 inches tall in an upright vase-shape, nearly tubular rosette. The foliage is green, with a 'thumb-print' or indented area near the base of each leaf. The inflorescence is vivid, with red bracts and violet-tipped red flowers on a short scape. Makes an attractive clump due to its stoloniferous habit. Very easy to cultivate in warm, partially shaded locations.

Bob Spivey’s hybrid is a cultivar of (funckiana x kegeliana), two red-flowered Tillandsias that are not as unrelated as they might appear. The flowers are in fact quite similar in both, though the foliage is dramatically different. The hybrid much more closely resembles the funckiana parent but differs in being more robust with longer leaves and having multiple flowers. It keeps the nice clustering habit of the funckiana parent.

A natural hybrid of (ehlersiana x streptophylla) from Chiapas, Mexico. There are those that believe that T. ehlersiana is itself a hybrid, so it is not surprising that it would hybridize with other plants sharing the same habitat. This plant looks like an ehlersiana in general aspect, a fat-bottomed beauty with wider, contorted, deeply channeled leaves, silvery all over with a more open, pretty pink inflorescence.
