Not a lot of info out on this plant...maybe why the
mis-labeling. And the few photo's available dont show the foliage much. Nice bloom. I read one artilcle that stated it can take up to 15 years to bloom

Seems like quite a collector's item. Great photography, especially the bee.

Hi Ron,
Thanks for that great photo, and welcome to the forum. Any chance of you capturing a photo of the whole plant in flower?
It's now on my wish list!

Cheers,
Kerry

Kerry, here's a pic I took last week before the buds started opening up. It's growing with some cactuses, euphorbias, and aloes. It doesn't get watered much and it's got about a half dozen growth points. Each bloom spike is about three feet tall.

Hi there,
New at this and I'm still trying to load photos but it looks exactly like my Hectia Tillandsioides.

Fantastic, Ron. One of these days I'm going to buy a ticket to tour your place, I like your garden style.

I stumbled upon this site and saw a plant, the caerulea which looks like my tillandsioides, as mentioned previously. How can they look so similiar? Was I misinformed when I bought it. I never repotted this since I bought it 15 yrs. ago and it is huge. Every spring I get max of 5 spikes. I don't know how to upload a photo to show everyone, but let me know and I will. thanks

What a Stunner - Also on my wish list

Thanks for the photo - Cheers Richard

Ron,

Nice pictures on your member page.
