Voted 'Best in Show' at the 2022 World Bromeliad Conference. This is an absolute stunner! Unlike the typical form, this Tillandsia ehlersiana can grow larger than 2 feet tall!
Our stock originated from Mitch Rabin of Living Colors Nursery and selected out over many years by Tropiflora grower Veronica Orozco.

Our expert tillandsia grower spotted this clone mixed in with our very first batch of Tillandsia 'Eric Knobloch' and has been growing it, aside, for years. We finally separated it from the named hybrid and gave it it's own name. This clone of brachycaulos x streptophylla is darker and more purpleand just slightly smaller in size. An open rosette of light green, curling, silvery dusted leaves form a somewhat bulbous base. An inflorescence that has long, dark lavender blushing bracts and a tight cluster of violet branches rises about 5 inches above the foliage. A handsome, easy to grow and prolific plant.
My very healthy Tillandsia were shipped quickly and were packaged well. I'm very happy!!

Tillandsia ‘Red Robin’ (T. streptophylla 'Red' Belize (ex Bob Spivey) x T. streptophylla 'Red' (ex Steve Correale) is a Tropifloracultivar by Ray Lemieux, resulting from a series of crosses between several Tillandsia streptophyllas originating in Belize. The best of those, with reddish coloration, were crossed with ‘Spivey Belize Red’ (not sure if this is a registered plant. A clone of T. streptophylla). Selections of that cross were crossed with a red clone from Steve Correale. Select plants from that grex were crossed with another T. streptophylla called ‘Jim Irvin’s Pink. Best of that grex was crossed with another Tropiflora plant we call ‘Silver Fuzzy’ in 2017 (also not registered, a one-of). The best, reddest of that grex was selected to become ‘Red Robin’.
The plant is large and robust, with leaves that curl tightly, 17 inches long, 1.5 inches wide. A typical blooming plant, with spike, is 23 inches tall, with an inflorescence 17 inches tall with reddish-pink, 6-inch, curly bracts, and bearing a dozen or more silvery-pink branches. The bulbous base is approximately 6 x 6 inches.
A choice form that takes on a good red coloration in strong light.
I’m satisfied because I received a larger plant than I expected.
It's a wonderful color.

A Mexican species from Sinaloa state, our plant is a piece of the type plant collected by Harry Luther in 1993 and described in 1997. A clumping 'needle leaved' species that closely resembles the Florida endemic simulata. Tapering leaves are quite succulent and densely lepidote. The inflorescence is about as long as the foliage with up to six branches, silvery lepidote over green and bearing tubular purple flowers. Found in clusters growing on Bombax trees at about 3,500 feet of altitude.

A cultivar of the cross (‘Houston’ x leonamiana) by Paul Isley. A large growing beauty that exceeds the size of either parent plant, with many more leaves and a larger inflorescence. Very leafy, with literally hundreds of narrow, silvery leaves in a full rosette. The inflorescence has rose bracts and white flowers and is stunning. This is a truly spectacular plant that deserves its name!

A three inch ball of silvery needles with a bright orange, six inch bloom spike. That about sums up this beautiful Mexican miniature Tillandsia from southwest Mexico. Native to medium altitudes in semi-arid, deciduous forests, this plants loves bright light and breezy conditions. Ageotropic, it can grow in any direction and is often found growing upside down in nature. This species used to be quite common in the trade, but when Mexico closed down to collecting some years back, only captive-bred plants are available and this is not noted to be a fast grower. Easy to cultivate, best mounted.

This is the darkest form of T. aeranthos with dark gray leaves that can turn almost black in certain conditions.
A rare miniature from Brazil. The plant has soft silvery recurved leaves on a short stem and a branched, inch long inflorescence. The bracts are pink and the flowers lilac pink and white. A beautiful little species. Very limited supply of cultivated plants,
