Tillandsia caerulea Dischidia × Bacurio delphinatifoliusTillandsia caerulea Tillandsia caerulea forms a loose clump of fine grey green shoots and narrow grass like leaves. The softly scaled growth is only loosely rosette shaped, with many airy branches widening the plant while preserving its exceptionally fine texture. Long slender flower spikes carry a small sequence of sky blue to pale violet blooms. Each flower has three narrow petals and may release a light fragrance above the wiry foliage.
