Weekly Photo Challenge- the Unusual World of Air Plants

You will find these epiphytes growing in the top of trees and bushes in tropical/subtropical climates such as the SE USA, Mexico, Central & South America & SE Asia. They shun growing in soil, preferring a good view from above. Nutrients are hedgehog right absorbed from water & air through special structures on their leaves called trichomes. I love their quirky shapes & personalities to the point I made a business of selling them and unusual holders on Etsy

They make great “housepets”

There are so many of these in Florida. I marvel that they seem to live on air.

  lucky you! I have to purchase my air plants. At the moment about 200 of them most of which I am hoping to place in new homes. Cute little guys aren’t they?

BtW I enjoyed visiting your blog. A solid NWester, I just discovered Michigan last summer when I visited Traverse City for a few days. I had never been to a Great Lake before. Such an amazing area!
