Tillandsia funckiana #2490 Size:Single seasonally dry caatinga habitatThis is a form of Tillandsia funckiana that we got from the collection of Eloise Beach with her collection number of 1915 1. We don't know anything about its provenance, but it is a fairly typical form that flowers regularly with bright red flowers. There are so many forms and honestly, this is just another one! If you are collecting T. funckiana, then you need this one.
