Tillandsia capitata 'Peach' vipp 10-28-19 One of the more spectacularA really fine form from the widely variable capitata group. Rather large, to over a foot tall, it has leathery leaves in an upright rosette. The foliage is pinkish tan and the inflorescence, a capitate head with long blushing bracts, colors a bright peach color which lasts for a considerable period. This Mexican native most commonly occurs as a lithophyte in habitat, but grows easily potted or mounted on wood or stone.
