LOL Japie good luck getting gonzer to to check his mail

Japie, neither one of those looks like a capitata to me, Peach or otherwise. The first I don't recognize but the second is surely T. chiapensis, no?

Ok, Lisa, I went through my old photos. The first plant was actually labled T himnorum - I must have switched lables when I mounted them. But I named one of the old pictures T harrisii 'himnorum'. So I checked harrisii and found two pictures (Moyna Prince and Anwyl Bromeliads) looking exactly like my nr 1. So thanks, you made me think and investigate and I found the right name. For nr 2 I will wait for Gonzer or some one else to switch on the light for me!

Bingo on both plants, harrisii and chiapensis. I don't remember ever seeing a harrisii as well grown as that Japie, very rico suave! The infloresence doesn't normally extend that high. I'd love to see more of your garden.
Hdd, I always check my mail but you've never written. Do you have my right addy?

LOL Oh only about 30 emails to the only addy I ever had the cox one

Bromes in a Frangipani/Plumaria? Well, I never...

If we don't have anymore hurricanes (sorry to disappoint Mr Gore), then I could start to strap bromes to my revival Frangipanis.

Plumerias actually make very good Tillandsia hosts. They give the tillies a bit of protection during the hot summer and then drop their leaves to let more light in during the winter. The branches aren't strong enough to hold anything really heavy though, and of course if the entire branch goes flying off in a hurricane that's not such a good thing.

Thanks Gonzer. I'll show you more, but you will have to work for it! Please help me with some more names. I want to get all my Tills now nicely sorted out with proper names.

And then the plants in question.
1. I have got no idea:
{{gwi:443943}}
2. Till caulescense?
{{gwi:443944}}
3. Till butzii?
{{gwi:443945}}
4.Till baileyi?
{{gwi:443946}}
5. Till vernicosa?
{{gwi:443947}}
6. Till argentea? I got another one and mounted it next to my old one and it turned out to be an ionantha. Argentea was upright but it moved like that all by itself. Should I put it upright or is it fine like that? I have it quite a couple of years and it never flowered or produced pups

Sorry, I forgot to rotate butzii and baleyi and cannot get them to move now.

Japie
And then another view of the guys on the sleepers.

All the ID's seem good Japie. Your ionantha in the last photo appears to be "Huemalula" which is VERY slow. I've not seen pups or flowers on one either. Your vernicosa seems to have wider leaves, but then all your plants seem larger and healthier than the ones out here. After seeing the group photo I'll definitely say again: That's the nicest chiapensis ever. Submit both of your plant photos (harrisii too) to FCBS for inclusion. The first photo is a mystery right now. My first reaction was T. cocoensis, but since there's no pic at FC I'll have to scare one up for you. Super nice looking garden!

Thanks very much Gonzer! The picture I found of T cocoensis looks very much like my plant, now I just have to get it to flower then I can be sure. Check the link below.

Here is a link that might be useful: Till cocoensis

Gonzer, it is the green one in picture nr 1 (Till cocoensis)that never flowered for me.

Japie

Gotcha Japie, I'll compare to my cocoensis once it's re- hydrated.

The plumeria is a very good idea. For all the right reasons too. Spanish moss here i come...
Also as i buy undescribed Home Depots Tillys all the time,i see that i too have T.baileyi. My report from the non tropical bay area is that T.baileyi made it through last years freeze unprotected and this years weeks of cold rain.It couldn't be in more sun or less protected on the patio rafters, Looks fine and double the size of two years ago. Ditto for what i now see is T.argentea,although mine seems to top out at the size of the middle plant while pupping. Cooler climate.
Here,full sun keeps T.butzii in red leaf all year..if anything, the cool winter has made more of the leaf red rather than just the last half as in summer.
My poor funkyana..just a great looking Tilly lost to the cold.Soon to try again..$5? is worth a second chance-or third.

Stanofh, in my humble experience, I found that T funckiana is very much tropical in it's requirements. Mine just survived - grow a bit, then die back a bit - for the past couple of years and it just got smaller and smaller. Since I moved it to a more protected spot where I keep most of my orchids, it has actually started growing very nicely. so, give it humidity and a bit of heat and it should grow for you!

Japie

Japie,alright thank you!..i knew it couldnt have been a fluke. Nice to hear confirmation on funckianas tenderness. Next time on the winter-warmer front porch.It would be the only Tillandsia I have to need that location. Hyperzias do well there.

And now it is about a month later than the picture of T chiapensis (2nd pic) was taken, and still not a flower in site!
