Tillandsia flavobracteata

Tillandsia flavobracteata is a little-documented epiphytic bromeliad endemic to the Gulf lowlands of southern Veracruz and neighbouring Oaxaca in Mexico. The name refers to its yellow floral bracts. It lives in warm, humid lowland forest with a short spring dry season, so it wants warmth, bright filtered light and regular watering.
