A cross of two classic showstopping species. Tillandsia rothii and xerographica already have a pretty similar shape, but are on opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of trichome density. The result is an intermediate gray/green color on the leaves with the classic open rosette shape and long curly leaves of both species. Bloom has structure of xerographica with colors of rothii
