Tillandsia loliacea Tillandsia tectorum The crossing of these twoTillandsia loliacea is lovely miniature Tillandsia species from southern South America. It is in the Tillandsia sub genus Diaphoranthema a group which contains most of the smaller growing species such as aizoides, usneoides, capillaris and many others. T. loliacea has succulent leaves. Small yellow flowers. It makes nice clumps and is easy to grow from seed. I have some nice small clumps available, in bud.
