she has her in the houes..the one she has looks like a flower but it is hard...will it flower?does not need a lot of water has to be out of the sun..thanks ajtgirl

night owl:

Actually epiphytes such as tillandsias do need water...what they don't need is soil. They bebefit from misting them every day and keeping them in a shady spot. We have ours hanging on pieces of bark on the walls of our retail shop. Like orchids, they may flower only once a year, depending upon where you live. I have a feeling they are going to become more popular, retail wise.

the plant i ask you about i spelled it Tillandsia? you spelled it Tillandsas? i had the right spelling..just looked on Google...the one my friend has is Tillandsia cyanea..there is a few diff one whith that name..

night owl:

Sorry I am a careless speller...ask anyone I play with.
You are correct about the correct spelling...I was wrong.
Did you figure out what they are though?

ajtgirl

Foxy Lady: oh boy! =) do You get real live berries, Ma'am?

plaintiger: Yes we do and this year were putting in a strawberry patch.That will produce next year.

Foxy Lady: Do you have lots of rabbits in your area that could get into your strawberry patch? If so, what do you plan on doing about it? We had a problem with that a couple of years ago...

edited to fit this board.

rednaz23: We have a rabbit family and a chipmonk that lives in our yard all year.We share the garden with them.It's no big deal since our garden is good size.So is my neighbors.

Foxy Lady:

Hi Foxy

Why is there a little green (1) after the link to our Gardening board
on my favorite boards site?

I have never seen this before

ajtgirl: That shows a pawn has posted and waiting for approval.

Foxy Lady: oh boy! =)

i wish i knew where to find blackberries around here. i love picking those and gobbling 'em up.

plaintiger: Have you checked out any wooded areas,sometimes you can find lots of wild berries.

Foxy Lady: as i wrote that i was thinking about a wooded area not far from here where i used to explore when my Mom first moved the family to NY. those woods seemed so big to me then, but they'd only seem a little patch now...and i don't know how i'd even get to them without crossing someone's property.

i'm not sure where i'd find a wooded area on long island that hadn't already been all picked of berries... :/

plaintiger: Awwwwww thats too bad,i love fresh berries.

Foxy Lady: me too, Ma'am. i'll have to have a look around...and maybe off-island.

plaintiger: Try a nursery for thornless blackberry, I've got one growing and the person I got it off just has his growing in a cylindrical 6"wire mesh. It's about 6 feet tall and apart from the birds he does all right. My one grows alond a boundary fench

plaintiger:
You are a master of photography, no doubt about it
I actually have one of that variety tillapsia
It has stopped blooming so it looks now like a beached sea urchin...but I know it will flower again.

Thanks for that picture

ajtgirl: oh, thank You, dear Lady, but i didn't take that picture. that's the picture from the tillandsia page You linked to.

plaintiger:

I know that!

Just looking for an oportunity to flatter you!

Have a great day, everybody

ajtgirl: lol! You're wacky, Ma'am. and thank You!
