This graceful Tillandsia is the only hybrid we know of between two species of the miniature Tillandsia subgenus, Diaphoranthema. It is a hybrid between Spanish Moss, Tillandsia usneoides, and Ball Moss, T. recurvata. Both of these species grow in the Southern U.S. and the cross was made by Mark Dimmitt a number of years ago. The leaves are silvery and this Tillandsia grows into a beautiful clump.
