Tillandsia botterii x chiapensis xVriecantarea clump forming species from central

clump forming species from central Minas Gerais

The center flushes reddish-purple at anthesis

often in the crowns of towering Bombax trees

Living in rocky soil and on rocks

with a spectacular inflorescence forming a tightly clustered head of pink branches

Tillandsia botterii x chiapensis xVriecantarea clump forming species from centralA large, stunning cross of botterii x chiapensis, by Steve Correale. Two species of southern Mexico, each a beauty in their own right. A large plant to about 24 inches tall with silvery leaves that taper to fine points forming a graceful vase shaped rosette. The inflorescence is multi branched, taller than the foliage, with many short, pink branches. This is the reverse cross of Mixtec Treasure and does not much resemble that plant.
