Tillandsia ionantha
Hi all,
I have shown this specific plant in bloom on this forum before. Never before however has it been this spectacularly scarlet/crimson red. I put the plant inside my newest vivarium, the one with the vireyas, and this is its second time blooming inside the tank. Right now its just got the color and soon it will throw out some nice blue flowers.
Tank shot, the Tillandsia is all the way at the top.

Thanks for the comments guys. I added a tank shot to the post.
Here is a challenge, find the blooming Lepanthopsis astrophora in the tank shot.

Beautiful Tillie! That is one of the mini Tillandsia I have been hoping to find to add to one of my terrariums.

Its a nice one. I have that one growing in a limb crotch of a Wax Jambu tree. Mine doesn't get quite that scarlet because of the heavy shade of the canopy. The flower is always spectacular tho. Looks great in your tank for sure!
