Tillandsia NoID
 

Very cool!

What a neat one!

What a great one!

A few hours later, as I was going to bed, it opened up!

I know almost nothing about Tillies. I didn't know that some only produce single blooms like this. I thought the red thing was a sheath/bract for a spike. And I swear it wasn't there two days ago! Anyway, the way it bloomed helped me identify it as NoID resembling an andreana, a near relative or a hybrid of.

OCD induced insomnia is gonna make today very long!

Wow, absolutely amazing!

Enjoy the bloom show! Hope it makes new pups after it blooms! The thing with tillys, it is a bittersweet show, the start of the end. But if it makes some pups/offsets life goes on.:)

Wow, wonderful!

Love that red. Pretty plant, it looks healthy. You should get pups in the future.

So is it T. andreana?
