Now That's a Bromeliad

Came across this tree covered in Old Man's Beard on the drive in the Gold Coast hinterland. Somewhere in there is Rhoda, "saving" bits that have fallen on the ground. LOL
Also known as Spanish Moss, it is actually a Bromeliad, Tillandsia usneoides although it looks nothing like any of the broms in our back yard.

Beautiful, I have several broms, but haven't tried to grow Spanish Moss. I didn't know they were related either.
