Airplant

The roots of this plant sit in a vase without soil or water. It has water put in the vase once a week for 30 minutes and is then poured away.
I get these beautiful flower stems about 4 or 5 times a year. Just amazing that it simply lives on nothing but a bit of water once in a while and still produces these beautiful flowers!

Thanks to everyone for getting my last 2 photos to PP. Much appreciated.

Takes me back, I used to have an airplant. It came on its own little rock. Don't think it ever flowered though!
