Description
Back in the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge, the northernmost portion of the Everglades. With over 221 square miles (596.47 km2) of Everglades habitat. There is a section that has a walkway through a Cyprus swamp.
This is an air plant that had settled into a tree. It was about 18 inches (46 cm) wide and about a foot (30.48 cm) high. It is not a parasite although it is attached to the trees bark. It collects water and nutrients from the air and not from the tree. This air plant could be collected and placed somewhere else (outside and in the shade) and it would live for years. Photo taken on January 12th. Please zoom!
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated.

Thanks for Thinking of me with this great shot, It looks like Tillandsia Gardeneri although its a lot bigger than the ones I grow but that could be due to growing conditions,the flowers on this one are on a short stem and are very beautiful. Again thanks for this wonderful picture.

Beautiful Dana, love the textures.

I remember when we were young we actually believed that it was the air these plant's lived on and not the moisture etc...

GREAT SHOT
A very well framed capture of the air plant and tree limbs in this most unique anomaly, Dana. One would think that the air plant was parasitic thriving up at that juncture.
A great capture and these air plants are quite amazing how they live with no soil. This one looks quite happy here.
Fantastic captuer, my friend !Very cool plant and interesting info !
