Epiphytes.. by julzmaioro

Epiphytes..

I am always fascinated by the Epiphytes that grow around the trunks and branches of our native tree's. I often say to anyone that wants to listen that I am amazed that you don't here of people getting injured or killed by falling Epiphytes, as some of them would be very heavy.. I said this to @dide yesterday just as I took this shot, and then I realized there was a big clump on the ground, it would of gone with a big thump I would think.
@dide we probably should of checked underneath it..
This plant was an Astelia which has a small flower that packs a big punch in perfume.
Fascinating, and a beautiful photo! Have never heard of Epiphytes...

@bjywamer an epiphytes are a plant that grow on a 'host's plant often ferns or orchids but in this case a large astelia (flax like plant)..

Aside from the flowers with a lovely scent, perhaps we should have checked that someone walking under it wasn’t squashed! A neat image.
