Till-whadda? Tillandsia!

Q) How lovely are these?
A) SO LOVELY

I’ve got an exposed brick wall that’s begging for adornment.  I think some of this green goodness is called for! 

Tillandsia are a beautiful type of Bromeliad (aka air plant).  They use their roots as anchors, clinging to tree trunks out there in ‘the wild’ and absorb all nutrients through their leaves.  They come in lots of varieties (some with flowers)!  I definitely like when they're paired with rustic & vintage elements.
