| wonder how often Tillandsia streptophylla x Tillandsia brachycaulos (eric knobloch hybrid) blooms?.
I ask this since the one I got in december 2007 (was flowering at the time) pupped (4) earlier this year and now those four pups are about to flower. They didn´t get very big since they didn´t get much time (they´re still attached to big mama). Is this usual? Thought they would take some years to the pups to do so. =/ Will post a picture in a moment. cheerios. |

mommy is in the center all the way up. there are four pups (one is barely visible to the far right). Wonder if they bloom usually every year.  cheers. |

| With your climatic conditions Patusho, it would not surprise me to see them flower so young. Nice looking plant. |
|
| Great plant. I havent seen any Tillandsia's for sale at the Union City H.D. for quite a while. That's where i would find some unusual or not common Tills or just plain good looking common plants dirt cheap. So's I asked the manager and she said air plants were being shoplifted so much they stopped carrying them. If i had some in mind she would order for me-just be sure I bought what she ordered! Sad state of our economy when in a relative upscale area(it's a north silicon valley city) people will stoop that low. |

| Thank you both gonzer and stan, glad you liked it. Better to fertilize it more often in order to get them a little bigger before they start doing their thing. Sorry for the late answer but my pc was out of business the last couple days. |

almost a month later, here it is......  cheerios |
|
| I just realized that I have this! It was in flower when I got it from Tropiflora in July.
And it put out new pups right away.
And much to my surprise, they bloomed already.

| OK, I realize mine isn't exactly the same since the parents are reversed, but it should be close. |
