Relatives of the pineapple that add glamour to a tropical garden or interior. Many of them in the treetops provide tiny isolated aquatic habitats for a variety of plants and animals.

 
 


The Bromeliad Society of South Florida
BSSF

Many great links from this site - allow plenty of time for browsing. One link, to Uncle Derek's site (not me, by the way), http://fcbs.org/butcher/dereksays.htm has some fascinating ramifications . http://fcbs.org is the home page of the Florida Council of Bromeliad Societies. Wander backwards and forwards between these three to your heart's content since they are cross-linked. [Editor's note, 2004 - all now seem to lead to the same starting site]

Bromeliad Society International BSI

This is the parent organisation in the United States, and has an appropriately rich site.
