Tillandsias and Orchids

In the middle of yesterday's drama llama with my kid (we're done talking about it for now, k?) I went to a Master Gardening meeting where to my surprise, Gunter Schnetzinger of Gunter's Greenhouse was giving a lecture on orchids, their care, propagation, and talked at length about Tillandsias, which are air plants. (epiphytic, translation: COOL AND EASY.)

( No, seriously. Orchids are EASY to care for. )

I'm about to head out to the garden center for more potting medium and I'm going to geek out over plants today. (I have a bunch of new succulents that arrived this week, so I'm replanting my specimen jars with succulents, instead of having them as terrariums for my ferns. Yay!) <-- complete dork
