I have been away for a while - it is fun catching up on the puzzles and reading all the comments.

That's pretty, where does that grow wild?

It looks very much like a spider plant. Are they the same thing???

We don't get exotic plants here in Ireland that's why I love doing puzzles like these. Never heard of an Airplant!

That is a beautiful airplant. Looks like it's growing on a palm trunk. Would love one. Wonder where it is.

Airplants are cool - they really do grow with just air, mo soil and only a few drops of water!
NOT the same as a spider plant.
Oftentimes, they are hung by fishing line and just dangle in a window!

They're from the bromeliad family & most of them originated in South America.

Anne, there is one growing 'wild' on the front of my fridge -- stuck in a tacky plastic seashell. :-) Here's a link which tells a great deal about epiphytes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphyte
I'd think they would grow inside in Ireland, Rebekah. No?

Hello all - thanks for your info, Judy and Kate.

Just remember in life, wherever you go, there you are!

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breath.

..and what fabulous air you are able to breathe in Tassie. gerald, love your little TFD's much more interesting than most of them.

I'd love to have one of these growing, sounds so easy to care for. 01/21/08

I've been known to kill even these with my black thumbs.

For Gerald: You are never alone, Where-ever you go you take yourself with you.
