Well, down in San Diego, there is a show and sale going on in Balboa Park that weekend. Pretty sure there will be some tillandsias on sale there as well as other broms (and probably a lot cheaper than anywhere else). With regards to tillandsias, I'll check who all is selling stuff, some people have a great selection at some sales.

A lot of nurseries have at least some selection. Are you looking specific specimen plants, bulk, or just a range of selection? Everywhere from the box stores, Walter Anderson, Armstrong's, Exotic Gardens, and a bunch more. But most seem to have the same suppliers for the air plants so they tend to be the smaller/younger ones and somewhat the same selection. I'm not sure when Bird Rock is open and there is supposed to be something with cool random selection up around Rancho Santa Fe area (I think). I know I'm forgetting others, does anyone else in the area have other suggestions (and for me too)?

Gonzer might have some suggestions for North County.

You might contact John Arden and make an appointment to visit his place, he is in north county. Outstanding vriesea collection, also many tillandsia.

Rich, Bird Rock has one of the best selections of Tillandsias around. I'd make that your first stop. See link for address and phone #.

Birdrock is kind of hit and miss these days as Pam has been busy with other projects. Mon-Wed at BR or phone for an appointment on other days. John Arden's would definitely top my list but his Tillandsia stock is almost non-existent (for true species). I'm in Oceanside Rich, if you'd like to drop by that'd be cool. I've got around 400+ different species and hybrids. PM me if interested.

How can I contact John Arden. I'd like to ask him about some of his T. hybrids. Thanks, Kim

Hi,
I also would love to visit John Arden's. I am local in Carlsbad. Thanks!

John is basically out of Tillandsia hybrids.
