A PowerPoint introduction to the Tillandsias, the largest and most extremely evolved bromeliad family. Emphasis will be on the atmospheric tillandsias (air plants) with photos of their habitat, ranging from desert to cloud forest. How do they manage to survive and flourish without roots under such extreme conditions? Discussion will center on answers to this question and the implications for successful culture of these bizarre plants. Presented by Southeast Michigan Bromeliad Society. Free.
