The epiphytic plant is a Tillandsia, probably T. paucifolia, that gave up the ghost after going to seed. Normally, these will produce some basal offshoots to keep the plant going even after the last blooming/seeding growth expires...something must have interfered with that process. In the meantime, a fair number of the seeds in their pods sprouted, forming the clump of green at the tip.
What Ron said about the other...definitely a Listera. Florida has one resident species of this genus...L. australis.
