Tillandsia 'Kiana Knuth' FORZZAEA The leaves are stiff andA really nice hybrid of (hammeri x concolor Cuicatlan) by Bill Timm. What a neat combination, a tall, stiff leaved, upright plant crossed with a stiff leaved open rosette type with a beautiful inflorescence. It worked! This is a jewel with stiff, upright, very narrow foliage, and a showy, branched inflorescence that is upright, taller than the foliage and pink and green to reddish. Interestingly enough, both species occur in the same area of Mexico!
