Description

Brilliant pink Bromeliad.

The Bromeliaceae (the bromeliads) are a family of monocot flowering plants of 51 genera and around 3475 known species, native mainly to the tropical Americas, with a few species found in the American subtropics and one in tropical west Africa, Pitcairnia feliciana.

They are among the basal families within the Poales and are unique because they are the only family within the order that has septal nectaries and inferior ovaries.These inferior ovaries characterize the Bromelioideae, a subfamily of the Bromeliaceae. The family includes both epiphytes, such as Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides), and terrestrial species, such as the pineapple (Ananas comosus). Many bromeliads are able to store water in a structure formed by their tightly-overlapping leaf bases. However, the family is diverse enough to include the tank bromeliads, grey-leaved epiphyte Tillandsia species that gather water only from leaf structures called trichomes, and a large number of desert-dwelling succulents.

PINK.. represents compassion, nurturing and love. It relates to unconditional love and understanding, and the giving and receiving of nurturing. Pink calms and reassures our emotional energies. It is a positive color inspiring warm and comforting feelings, a sense that everything will be okay.
