Tillandsia Ionantha

I purchased two variety of Ionantha, Ionantha, and Ionantha Fire of Tinco, I've got four of those, and eight of the regular ones, does anyone know anything about these, cause I got them mixed up, and I'm having a hard time telling the difference, Ed

And

One of the ones I just purchased, on the left, and a T. Fasiculata growing wild in my oak tree, Ed

A few that I just purchased.

Sorry Ed, its probably to do with the flower? You might just have to wait.

Thanks Sue, I kinda figured that being the same species, only a different variety, you would need to see it at least start to flower, Ed

Its annoying having to wait, but kinda fun too eh?

Those look great Edric, I have a few of the small native ones growing in the shrubs here but did purchase Ionantha, not sure if your will do the same but I was told it turns red just before flowering.

Here's mine.

So if that means yours are about to flower, thats going to be one great display!
Sue

Very pretty, Ed

Thanks Sue and Ed, I will keep watching it but nothing yet.

I spray Kelp solution on them, Ed

Hi Ed, where can you buy that, I have never known what to feed them ( apart from tlc ) .

I have also bought some new broms but haven't downloaded the pictures off my camera yet. Some i would like to check on the names i was given and two are noids.

This place has the best products, and prices, Ed
