TILLANDSIA SPECIES WITH VIOLET BLUE FLOWERS CLUSTERS IN BLOSSOM IN SPRINGTIME

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m not a Tillandsia expert. But, I could not pass when a private collector offered me several clumps of a blue-gray Tillandsia 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. I did my research and they are similar to Tillandsia recurvata or neglecta – But this is only a guess. They’d like sun or part sun and to be watered at least weekly. They can be mounted to a tree limb, post or a fence. I’ve never had or seen this variety before. These would be easy to mail order. We have small to medium clusters as well as large clusters on sale. The larger clusters contain 15 to 20 plants.
