Bromeliad
There are more than 2700 different species of Bromeliads. The Bromeliad flower, native to South America, comes in many vibrant shades of red, purple, orange, and blue. Some grow in soil, while others grow on rocks or on other plants and trees. Epiphytic bromeliads absorb moisture and nutrients from the atmosphere. Some bromeliads have stiff leaves that capture rainfall like buckets, and act like their own little ecosystem providing food for a variety of other organisms. The pineapple is the most well-known Bromeliad.
