Captain Bulbosa

Meine Freunde, meet Captain Bulbosa. The Captain was a sneaky gift from D for my office. It is a species of Tillandsia and being an epiphyte, it does not require roots for growth. In fact, the presence of nitrogen-fixing bacteria on its leaves are important for the plant's nutrition. The thermometer shows 27 deg C, just nice for the Captain.
