Tillandsia ID please

9 years ago

After examining photos online I think this plant is either T. caput-medusae or T. butzii. It's about 10 inches tall with wavy leaves. What do you think?

Thanks!

Not Butzii cuz it doesn't have the special pattern at the bulb. Should be caput-medusae, since it's not a bulbosa or pseudobaileyi either

T. bulbosa x streptophylla

Thanks to you both! I'm new to tillandsias. They are absolutely stunning, neat plants. I compared lots of images of caput-medusae and T. bulbosa x streptophylla and can visually match my specimen with either strain.

It is by no means T. caput-medusa. T. strepto x bulbosa has many cultivars depending on who the seed parent is.

Cool info.! Thanks gonzer :) Not very familiar with Tillandsia cultivars. In my area I only get the generic ones such as Ionantha, caput-medusae, butzii, capitata, etc. The "coolest" one I have is probably Xerographica and the funckiana.
