Tillandsia ID's, anyone?

I got a package of tillandsias off eBay to accent my vivariums and requested labels, but the supplier never got back to me. I'm not too irritated though, the price was mega cheap

would anyone like to attempt to identify some of these? I have identified ionatha 'rubra' and a mini bulbosa, but that's as far as I could get. I'll have more pictures up when they start blooming!

No IDs from me -- but what a marvelous collection! You've given me a serious case of tillie-envy.

Thanks! He puts nice plants in for a good package deal, I just wish they came with labels!

Pretty sure the middle left is a bulbosa, top right is a mexican and bottom right is a brachycaulos. Some of the others are ionanthas but not really positive to say for sure.

I'd try blackjungle's webiste. They usually have a pretty good selection of tillandsias and I think I've seen most of them there at on time or another
