John Arden has many popular and well known crosses.  What most people may not know is that John had a back catalogue of really awesome unregistered hybrids.  John had many crosses that he did several times, or he found a lot of variation within a grex and separated them by characteristics and gave them a number.  This is the only clone of this cross I have, and it's a bit larger than the Tillandsia ionantha x baileyi I have carried for a while
