Tillandsia ionantha
The other day, we where watering in the greenhouse and saw this little guy blooming like mad. We have four of these, all divisions of the same original plants. This is the biggest ball. This one is about the size of a softball, the others are about the size of lemons. Started, six years ago, with five small individual plants that we hooked together with wire. This one is about two years old now. We just drop them in a bucket of RO water once a week for about a hour and hang them back up. Pretty easy as long as you give them low mineral water and afternoon shade.
