Tillandsia diguetii pink flowers segmented stems over a footA rarely seen small grower from central coastal Mexico. Resembling a seedling of Til. streptophylla with its bulbous base and strap like curly leaves, it differs from the later in lacking a scape. Please note: in cultivation this species tends to have a smaller base and narrower, less curled leaves. Perhaps growing harder would bring back the wild look. The flowers are formed on a short compound inflorescence. An unusual and desirable collectible.
