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.

Cheers.

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.

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.

It's very nice. I'm moving this to the appropriate forum.
