Tillandsia I.D.
 

This one is a good size and is growing in my large oak tree, I'm going to use the branch for a mounted orchid tree. Putting it upright in a buckle of cement, and mounting orchids on it. There are no old blooms hanging around. Can anyone ID. ? It is attached pretty good to the branch so I'll use it too. This would be a Florida live oak tree..Thanks

Carol;

It appears to be either a Catopsis or Tillandsia, but I can't tell from the pic what species.

Here's a link to native Broms of Florida.

There is a PDF file I can't find right now that shows all the different FL species of Tillansias. I'm thinking Giant Air Plant, Giant Wild Pine Tillandsia utriculata

d-man Thanks, I think it is a Tillandsia fasiculata, by double clicking the pic twice I can get a pic 15x17. Would a side view help any, or is it just like orchids, there are 1000's. I couldn't find any pics on that site.

This might help...

CIR 1466/UW205: Florida's Native Bromeliads

Checked that out and they mentioned the one I think it is, bur no pics, I don't see anything else close. Maybe our wild Florida guys will know. Thanks for your help.

after studying this week, looking at pics and talking with a couple of bromeliad growers this is Tillandsia utriculata well known to grow in the wild in Indian River County. Thanks for the help.

So can I get away with neener neener neener?


Or just one neener?

right on buddy, Thanks
