Wow, all those species of the same Genus, fantastic. Were you able to buy them all locally? If not that would be an interesting treasure hunt to find them all.
Wow Theodoros, you have a good representation of genus Tillandsia. Do they get enough moisture from the air, as you live on an island, or do you spray often with water? Jerry
I think I read somewhere that there are around 650 different species of Tillandsia/air plants. You certainly have some lovely ones and I've never seen so many healthy specimens in one place before. Well done!!
You have a really nice collection there, I like bromeliads and tillandsias too, the warm weather here on the east coast of Australia really is to their liking. I noticed that you have some 'spanish moss', just recently I was looking at some of mine and noticed that it had a small green flower, I was not aware of it having any flower at all, maybe yours has flowered unnoticed too. My camera is not the best but look carefully and you can see several trumpet shaped flowers. Tiny green flowers on 'spanish moss' ( photo / image / picture from chocolate's Garden )
Wow, just wow!!! I love bromeliads. I have a few myself, but nowhere near your collection. I like each and every one of your photos. They look like they are taken care of very well. What are you using to anchor them to? I use old driftwood and a piece of log I got from cutting down one of my trees, however, they do not seem to like the log as well as the driftwood.
Oh my goodness! What a collection.Your place would be very interesting to visit.I have to admit I know absolutely 0 about these kinds of plants.They look very nice. Doris
Thank everybody :-D Toni, I brought them from an other country,in Greece this kind of plant. Jerry,in the summer I have them outside,and now I have them inside,and spray every two days. cherylad,a lot of them have flowered. thank Eileen. chocolate,they will definitely live in your country better than hear,,your spanish moss'is very beautiful.
