Tillandsia 'Timm's Twister' CM Keep the plant warm andBill Timms cross of (ionantha v. vanhyningii x bulbosa) is pretty much just what youd expect. The plant without a flower looks very much like a bulbosa is shape and size, perhaps a bit stiffer with thicker leaves. When in flower, the inflorescence is more like that of the ionantha v. vanhyningii parent, short, almost without a scape, with a cluster of tight branches and blue flowers. The top of the plant and the inflorescence blushes red at anthesis.
