Field Notes

Description:

The symmetry of the foliage emerging out from the center of these painted rosettes makes this something to stop and admire.

Habitat:

Neoregelia Bromeliads, part of the Pineapple family, are native to eastern Brazil and come in a variety of fantastic forms, sizes and colors. Bromeliads are epiphytes, which means that in the wild they live attached to trees catching nutrients from the air and will thrive with little care. A slight dampening of the soil every three weeks, less than an ounce in the “cup” and you have a hardy plant that will brighten your dwelling for months to come.

Notes:

Attractive and interesting plants.
