Tillandsia queroensis BRAZIL this is a clone ofAn unusual caulescent species from the area near Quero, in central Ecuador. It forms long stems, two feet on average, with rather hard, greenish gray leaves. However, we have seen and photographed this species in the wild with stems over ten feet long! Easy to grow, but seems to be a shy bloomer.
