Tillandsia cryptopoda
Peter Tristram 10/13.
Peter Tristram ... "...yes, T. nolleriana likes mild conditions so my January (and October!!) heat can knock it around. I keep them very shady over summer, like with cryptopoda, trigalensis, lautneri, mateoensis, nervata, kressii, of course multicaulis and other more common ones - there are a lot of these higher altitude species from those cool mountain forest areas and elsewhere in Mexico, Guatemala and further south."
