Tillandsia Xerographica Air Plant

Much larger than photo!  This is a 20+ year old plant  

This Tillandsia reminds us of a regal bridal bouquet with their grayish-silver flocked leaves and spiral rosette. They will be a conversational piece since you can’t miss the unusual branching stems. When the showy spike of purple to red inflorescence emerges, pinch yourself. They are a rare sight and will only bloom once in their lifetime when circumstances are perfect.
