This here is a very cool and underrated hybrid! Tillandsia ehlersiana has long been a favorite of mine both as a species and as a hybrid partner. This hybrid has most of ehlersiana's best traits; dense trichomes, semi-bulbous base, and long, narrow, recurved leaves. Schiedeana flattens out leaves that are normally rolled inward, extends the peduncle of the inflorescence, and tightens the stacking of the leaves to create one fun and unique hybrid
