Tillandsia 'Live Wire' Size:Medium Too bad because it isBob Spiveys hybrid is a cultivar of (funckiana x kegeliana), two red flowered Tillandsias that are not as unrelated as they might appear. The flowers are in fact quite similar in both, though the foliage is dramatically different. The hybrid much more closely resembles the funckiana parent but differs in being more robust with longer leaves and having multiple flowers. It keeps the nice clustering habit of the funckiana parent.
