Someone gave me a few tillandsias, but they do not know the names. Would someone please identify for me. Thank you, Colleen

I've decided to try growing one of these babies recently, and heard this particular species is easy to grow. Please take a look at my trade list, or let me know if I can do postage. Thanks!

Hi Gonzer I also would have started with bulbosa but the silver foliage points more at other bulbous plants. Baileyi x caput-medusae after the hints? Neat plant anyway! The other from Dan looks like a big form of caput-medusae - used to be sold as var major or Giant. At our last Nutters event, Bertie Bromel (a Kiwi related to Boozle Pitt) presented about 30 slides of Till hybrids, in inimitable Bertie fashion, with most of us failing the grade! The bulbous ones, fasciculata/rodrigueziana, etc group and paleacea/streptocarpa/arhiza hybrids were damned near impossible to guess. But we all had much fun and banter! Cheers, Pedro

Give then good air flow and keep them out of direct sun. And say a prayer
