nice color

One of the best shots I've seen of the species. Great lighting!

avane,
I have two till ionathas myself and they bloomed over 2 months ago, maybe 3 or 4 months ago... but, I don't see any babies yet whatsoever. Do you know how long it should be before I see anything?

They don't appear to be dying, the one's center is a bit lighter green in color than I remember it being before it bloomed, but I don't see anything else different with either of them. Thanks for your help, I'm rather new at this and I'm not sure what to look for and I'm not sure if they are going to do anything at all.

While we are showing some tillandsias, what about this one? I like the size of the flowers!

And now you can see which one it really is:

And another which is actually still in flower:

T crocata on 28 May:

And same flower on 3 June:
(and a very strong fragrance from such a small flower):

Very nice photos Japie.
Tillandsias can be very interesting and beautiful,with their amazing shapes and blooms.That was my first interest in bromeliads,around the 1970's,after visiting Tropiflora for the first time. Dennis and Linda ran the place out of a trailor,mostly by themselves,and I left there with a load of Tills.I still keep a bunch around,but they are a bit harder to grow and prosper with our cool weather,most of the year.The fragrance of T.cyanea at night is special.
Likewise,the fragrance of T.usneoides in the evening can fill a room,even from one or two tiny flowers.

I forgot to mention it,but that first pic,
that one should have the name 'Hedgehog' or 'Porcupine'
Bob ^-^

Bob, here's Porcupine with a flower! This is actually one of my ionanthas that does not colour so intensely red when it flowers. And I do not have names for all my varieries - 4 I think - So I will call this one Porcupine. Unless Gonzer could maybe help with a name.
