Tillandsia ionantha selection

I knew when I bought my first Tillandsia that it would become addictive and I was not wrong. But when you receive such great service and terrific plants it is hardly surprising. Tillandsia ionantha's would appear to be an ideal group of plants to place together in display and so I ordered a group of different variety in order to do just that. There is a lot to be said for placing an order with someone and not having to worry about what you will actually receive. As with my other orders the plants arrived in perfect condition and superbly packed. The T. ionantha 'Peanut' appears to be a smaller variety than some of the others but that takes nothing away from its form. Tight and compact and a lovely lush green. This little plant is now sitting mounted on a piece of twisted vine branch with the others I purchased in a natural hollow formed by the twisting vine.
A beautiful plant supplied once again by Andrew .

Beautiful trio

My three specimens of T. Ionantha "Peanut" were perfectly selected to complement each other with slightly differing characteristics: one was quite pear-shaped and fat whilst another was slimmer and more curved and a sharper green and the final one was blushing beautifully and has since flowered. Andy is obviously passionate about his plants and cares about every customer's order which are always extremely well packed with each plant appropriately labelled to ensure you know what you have. A great find.
