Thanks Cheryl! Aren't they a monocarpic organism? I thought all Bromeliads died after they bloomed and depended on pups to propagate themselves. I may be wrong about that. I'm trying to figure out the Tillandsia recurvata. It's doing well and the balls it makes seem to consist of many, many individual plants which appear to be attaching to old dead growth to form the ball. Mine bloomed heavily, but I can't tell the individual plants died. At least so far. There are a lot seed heads that have finished dispersing the seeds, but most of them are still green. There are some that are dead, but they may be from the year before. The 'Queen's Tears' only has one pup, so it will be a long time before I get a container full like yours. That's great. How big is that container?
