Tillandsia velickiana

Tillandsia velickiana forms a dense rosette of thick silvery leaves which provide a perfect backdrop for its simple purple flowers produced from a soft pink bract.  A great ‘indicator’ plant for watering purposes as its leaves curl inwards along their length quite visibly when the plant is getting dehydrated.  Formerly listed as Tillandsia oaxacana.
