Tillandsia Caerulea has many medium sized silver leaves that grow on a twisting stem. The few flowers form on very long and thin wire like spikes, have a delicate perfume and the plant can flower for up to 9 months of the year. Flowers can range from deep violet to light lilac. It comes from dry forests areas and rocks in Peru and Ecuador
