One of John's more stunning and unusual crosses. As is typical of any ionantha cross, these genetics heavily dominate the hybrid. Tillandsia bourgaei adds to the fun by giving the plant beautifully recurved leaves and many bracts during bloom. This plant isn't for everyone, but for serious collectors this is one you have to have!
