TILLANDSIA USNEOIDES

Known by its common name Spanish Moss, this Tillandsia usneoides is one of the smallest air plants from the Bromeliaceae Family.

This air plant is so easy to grow outdoors and if left on its own, like these clumps that I draped onto the rain tree beside the Silver Garden, they create a beautiful drooping effect.

A link on this plant is shown below:

AECHMEA

This is an Aechmea, or at least what I think it is. But it is definitely a bromeliad from the Bromeliaceae Family, that includes the pineapples, air plants etc.
