Bromeliad (Cuba)

Photo by Gayla Trail

I spotted this bromeliad growing out of a wall. It was so interesting to see them growing outdoors and to observe how they respond to a dry period.

Davin took a photo of me standing next to the same bromeliad because I have this dumb tourist thing about having my picture taken with plants I like. Some people reserve these sorts of “I was there!” snaps for popular destinations, I on-the-other-hand want to remember the moment I saw my first flowering agave, tree fern, wild-growing orchid, or tillandsia etc.
