Andy from Penang? I think he was the one that gave me that nursery contact in Menglembu where I can find Tillis. Cool, we should get him in the forum. He taught me the little I know about caring for these plants. My first 4 Tillis that I got was because of him. Nice guy

I already told Andy that I posted his pics in the forum & gave him the website url.....he says he`ll check it out when he`s free. He`s a bz chap, mostly coz of work & his garden upkeep.

Just check the link. Very tempting!! May I know how often your Tillandsia blooms? For example, T. ionatha, T. bulbosa, T. caput-medusae.

Lim. all tills start to bloom when they mature. so it`s pretty much dependent on the variety. T.ionantha can bloom almost immediately if you buy a semi-matured plant.....anyhow, Tills are not kept for their flowers. Till hobbyists feel sad when it blooms coz it means that the Till is die-ing or will be dead after that. It could have taken anything from 1 year to 5 or 6 years for the Till to mature. We appreciate more the Tills shape, markings, growth etc. Flowers are of a distant secondary importance, more to attract beginners to start on the hobby.

Tarence, you have answered half of the question. Some tillies have their own blooming season. From what I've read. Most ionanthas will bloom at the changing of every season. ie: at the interval of spring to summer. But of course all this happening will depend on your plant condition. Some are reluctant to bloom due to temperature differences as to their natural habitat. Some will take like about 10 years upon maturity and show off its infl. It is not the bloom that matter as what Tarence had mentioned.
Some collectors do take into account of its shapes and sizes. Tillies can be as tiny as about 1 cm up to as big as 2 m across. Very adaptable and diversified.
