Tillandsia 'Pink Sensation' (streptophylla x brachycaulos)

Tillandsia 'Ragtime' (abdita x concolor 'Red Prince') Beautiful bright red color when in bloom.

A fairly rare plant in cultivation is a denizen of inland forests in the northern Mexican states of Sinaloa and Sonora. This plant is hummingbird pollinated and has a branched pink scape with tubular flowers. The plant is about 6 inches tall with somewhat stiff, silvery leaves in an upright rosette.

Tillandsia 'Fiesta' is a pretty cross of streptophylla x caputmedusa.

This is a nice cross that resembles a large bulbosa but with silvery scurf on the leaves and inflorescence. The overall shape is that of bulbosa; bulbous base with somewhat twisted, terete leaves and a scape with spreading branches. One parent, Showtime, is a cross of bulbosa x streptophylla, but there is little influence of the streptophylla parent in this cross, save maybe for the silvery scurf. The inflorescence is pink due to the trichomes. A robust, easy grower. 

An Australian made hybrid of (intermedia x ionantha) by Margaret Paterson. If you are familiar with T. intermedia, you will know that it is a famously proliferating plant, producing offsets from the top of the inflorescence as well as from the base. Well this plant combined with ionantha has produced some unusual but possible predictable results. Singly the plants look a bit like a tall ionantha and upon blooming it will blush red. However it will often surprise and delight by producing one or more offsets from the apex of the plant and successive bloomings will produce an odd, connected cluster of plants.

A superior version of the typical T. fasciculata with stiff greenish gray leaves in an upright rosette and a multi-branched spike of red, yellow and orange. Very nice!

Tillandsia (streptophylla x bulbosa) x streptophylla. Bulbous bottom with tapered wavy green leaves that blush pink when blooming. Branched inforescence with multiple pinkish-red bracts and purple flowers.  

A new Tropiflora hybrid, with "new" being the relative term. Back in 2010 Tropiflora employee Ray Lemieux crossed copanensis with fasciculata 'Tropiflora' and we have been growing out the seedlings ever since, patiently waiting for the mature plant to bloom. Wow, it does not disappoint! A large grower reaching 3 and 1/2 feet across with a 2 foot bloom spike boasting many branched colorful bracts. A stunning plant.

 We are offering offsets for sale at this time. See last photo.

A very nice species from Central America that for years went in the trade as paucifolia (or circinnata) 'Pink Form', that is until it was given scientific treatment and was declared a new species in its own right. Bulbous based with twisting, terete leaves and a nice clear pink inflorescence, this is an easy to grow, colorful, must have species for all Tillandsia lovers.
