air plant

Tillandsia sp

Description:

large epiphytic plant, I was shocked to see a plant that lives on moisture in the air in such a dry, hot and sunny environment.

Habitat:

semi arid dry tropical forest

Notes:

I'm used to seeing Tillandsia's in the rainforest and cloud forest and never expected to see one growing in the Tatacoa desert.
