Thanks for the comments. Bud, when Tillandsias want to bloom, they flush red and then the blooms come out soon after.

I don't know, Cesar ... I think you could do better. Why don't you just send this one to me and get yourself something nicer?

I have just added orchid divisions to wood mounts that we have similar tillandsias growing on. Hope they will be happy companions.
