Hunting

Hunting

Today I went hunting for everything in the garden with the genus: Tillandsia. Someone is doing research on the group, and they'd like as many samples as they can get. So Holly sent me through various specific greenhouses to find Tillandsia. What is Tillandsia?

There's a lot of variation. Here's a photo that came out ok:

Other species in the genus include the ever-so-popular "Spanish Moss." And other pretty tropical plants that loosely resemble the foliage of pineapples.

It was fun.
The greenhouse that I was searching in was overgrown, crazily unkempt, filled with crazy orchids and tropical cactaceae. Go figure.

An adventure.

Then I made a bunch of labels for other stuff.
