Tillandsia ionantha is one of the coolest and smallest bromeliads I have, they are native of Mexico and Central America where they grow on trees and rocks.
They have miniature rosettes of grayish green leaves and once a year when they are ready to bloom around this time, the plant turns to a pinkish color, the blooms are striking purple flowers.
My plant is attach to a palm tree,

Ooh, that is a wonderful bromeliad! Very colorful, and so cool there growing on that palm trunk.
I so wish I could grow more bromeliads...I really like this one.
Yes, that is really cool.
In South Florida one can never have too many Bromeliads. Your TI is real cool.
I have the same little tillandsia but did not know the name. It is really striking when it turns hot pink, but it also looks nice yearround.
Very beautiful tillandsia blooming! I also have one just set out the spike. Can not wait to see its flower!
I never used to like Tillandsia but this one has the most beautiful colour...
wow that is a really fabulous one! lovely color!
So exotic! Something from the underwater world...
Nice! I have one on a hanging driftwood branch that has yet to bloom... I might try them outdoors this year.
