Humilis is one of my favorite fragrant tillandsias. It resembles straminea in many ways; showy, compound inflorescence, vibrant and fragrant flowers, and long, graceful leaves that recurve and twist over time. Can be left to grow into a beautiful clump, especially when you get several blooms at once
