Discover Tillandsia 'Little Shaver', a captivating hybrid airplant that combines delicate beauty with surprising vigor:

Parentage: Tillandsia paleacea × Tillandsia macbrideana
Distinctive traits: Silvery, fine-leaved rosette with vibrant purple blooms
Availability: Sought-after hybrid, especially when flowering

Key features:

  • Ethereal form: Compact rosette of thin, silvery leaves creating a soft, feathery appearance
  • Stunning blooms: Currently displaying vivid purple flowers, a rare treat for collectors
  • Compact size: Perfect for small spaces and versatile display options
  • Unique lineage: Combines the best traits of two xeric Tillandsia species
  • Low maintenance: Ideal for both novice and experienced airplant enthusiasts

Appearance: 'Little Shaver' forms a dense, silvery rosette of fine, needle-like leaves. The foliage creates a soft, almost fuzzy appearance due to the abundance of trichomes – tiny scales that give the plant its distinctive silvery sheen. Currently in bloom, this specimen boasts a striking inflorescence with vibrant purple petals emerging from reddish-purple bracts, creating a beautiful contrast against the pale foliage.

Collector's Note: 'Little Shaver' exemplifies the artistry of Tillandsia hybridization. It inherits the compact, silvery nature of T. paleacea combined with the more robust growth and flowering potential of T. macbrideana. This hybrid demonstrates how careful breeding can enhance the aesthetic appeal of xeric (dry-loving) Tillandsia while maintaining their hardiness.

Care tip: Provide bright, indirect light to maintain its silvery appearance and encourage blooming. Water sparingly, misting thoroughly once a week or soaking for 30 minutes every 10-14 days, ensuring the plant dries completely within 4 hours. Excellent air circulation is crucial for this xeric species.

Ideal for:

  • Collectors seeking Tillandsia with both beautiful foliage and impressive blooms
  • Those who appreciate plants with a delicate, ethereal appearance
  • Enthusiasts looking to add textural interest to their airplant displays
  • Designers creating desert-inspired or minimalist plant arrangements

Display recommendation: The compact, silvery form of 'Little Shaver' makes it perfect for small terrariums or mounted displays. Consider pairing it with dark-colored stones or driftwood to highlight its pale coloration. When in bloom, showcase it as a centerpiece to fully appreciate its vibrant flowers.

Add a touch of xeric elegance to your collection with Tillandsia 'Little Shaver'. Experience the joy of nurturing this delicate-looking yet resilient hybrid, and revel in the rare spectacle of its stunning purple blooms.

Comfortable fit for slip-in fabric shoes
Size: 14, Color: Black/Black
My first experience with Marc Joseph. I typically purchase dress and casual work shoes from Florsheim and occasionally Rockport. I'm giving these four stars because the initial fit and feel appear solid. Depending on the shoe brand I wear a size 14 or 15. My feet are slightly wide but I don't alway need wide fit. These size 14 fit well with wide enough toe box. I've tried slip in shoes before and they just don't feel right. These somehow work and there is no heel slip. My only reservation is the high lip on the heel for slip-in and hope they dont catch pant hems. I gave 4 stars because I'll have to determine durability. Granted they are a light fabric shoe with a soft rubber tread. I'd like them to last for at least 6 months..and use them for business casual work wear during warm weather.
