TILLANDSIA MALLEMONTII SPECIES WITH VIOLET BLUE FLOWERS CLUSTERS IN BLOSSOM IN SPRING - SUMMER

A TYPE OF AIR PLANT – EASY TO GROW – BLOSSOMS IN FALL
CAN BE MOUNTED ON TREE TRUNKS & LIMBS, POSTS OR FENCE

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m not a Tillandsia expert. But, I could not pass when a private collector offered me multiple clumps of a blue-gray Tillandsia mllemontii in full blossom. The blossoms are a violet-blue (photos make them appear a bit pink – which they are not). I was told by the collector that the blossom every spring to summer with lots of flowers. The clumps are composed of ten to fifteen plants. Attach or hand them from a tree limb or tunk, a fence post or mount them to a wooden plank and hang them in coastal sun. They’d like sun or part sun and to be watered at least weekly. This species is rare to find. These would be easy to mail order. We have a good selection of clusters of this species. Most contain at least ten individual plants. Note that, when you buy Tillandsia on line, you ususally get one dinky plant, not huge clusters 15 years old like shown here. The first six photos show this species of Tillandsia Bromeliad while the 7th photo shows one mounted on a wooden back. The last two photos below show Bromeliads mounted to a tree trunk or limb – but not necessarily this type of Tillandsia.
