Floral Fireworks
This is Tillandsia ionantha fuego, an airplant indigenous to Mexico and Central America. I've had this plant for three or four years, almost losing it to a fungal infection months after it arrived. Since then, it has produced a couple of 'pups'; that's what they call the new plants that bud off the main one, but has never bloomed, until now. I'm glad it survived, because I think it's a beauty, and I hope you'll agree.
