Tillandsia funckiana 'Marron' pink flower Grows well potted or mountedA robust form of this variable Venezuelan species. The cultivar name Marron means brown in Spanish, but we do not see any brown in this plant. Perhaps it had a brownish appearance in nature. We have observed this plant at several locations in habitat and know that the plants vary quite a lot. A cliff dweller that grows on rocks in full sun, in cultivation it will form a large cluster even to several feet across with time. Very nice, short, needle thin
