Air plant (Tillandsia)
Air plant (Tillandsia) is found in the trees attached to there branches.
These low-maintenance plants are ideal for the one who forgets to water there house plants.
Their roots are only there for anchoring them and they like to be submerged in water for a few minutes.
Some are small. The larger ones were blooming.
I found this big one where a big oak tree had blew over due to a storm(hurricane Irma).
The bloom has a purle color.
Thanks and always pay it forward. Don't be shy UPVOTE people.
The Wikipedia articles the AirPlant is native to Northern Mexico and the Southern US. (I always like to check the source and natural range of plants).
There is plenty of them in my area. I always look up in the tops of trees to see if I can spot them. They are in full bloom right now.
Sweet, my favorite plants are native plants which, of course, differs depending on where I am. The pictures looked so interesting, I imagined them an exotic from a distant island.
I imagine that Florida has a huge diversity of plants and is likely a favored haven for botanists.
Florida has many native plants. I want to find a Bartram's air plant (T. bartramii)
I always look up at the tree tops hoping to find one.
This sounds like it would be a fun application for drones.
That's a good idea and sounds fun. Getting them down once you find them would be a task.
Well, maybe you could be the inventor of the drone that picks air plants off the tops of trees and become a millionaire. Come to think of it ... the same technology could be used for coconuts or even plucking cats off the tops of telephone poles; So the sky is the limit.
Now that would just take all the God given Joy out of retreating those items.(air plant,coconutor the cat ) which by the way would have a hissee over a drone. What fun would it be if we did not have to go the extra mile to get the reward.
