Tillandsia ericii

[GuRu]

Only few Tillandsias have flowers with such an intens yellow colour like Tillandsia ericii from Bolivia. I'm always deeply impressed when it is in flower.

I like this Tillandsia. It's not a species I was familiar with until today. Orange is a lovely color for a flower and not one I can recall seeing from the flowers themselves in this genus. I assume the flowers aren't long lasting, though, correct?

...... I assume the flowers aren't long lasting, though, correct?

So far it is flowering almost a week and the flowers still look fresh. But I will watch the flowers fade away and report you in the end.
