This is a Guatemalan species that was formerly known as Tillandsia capitata v. guzmanioides. Many years ago we tried to grow this plant from wild collected specimens sent up from Kurt Meyer. These are cultivated plants that we also imported, but have had them for years and they are thriving here in Florida. This plant closely resembles some of the capitata forms but seems to agree in many aspects with the species. The photo is of one of this same clone so you can be the judge. We grow ours bare root in baskets, but this plant can tolerate potting in a light media. Green foliage with a capitate inflorescence and long scape bracts that blush bright red at anthesis.
