Tillandsia utriculata GIANT WILD PINE |
| The name giant wild pine is very misleading;
the giant wild pine is an airplant that does not even necessarily
grow on pines. The giant wild pine is an endangered species that grows
in dry and mesic hammocks, cypress swamps, and pinelands. The giant
wild pine produces a single flower spike, releases seed and dies.
Without man or the Mexican bromeliad weevil, the giant wild pine can
live up to 20 years. |
