New bromeliads
Bare limestone is covered in lichens, bromeliads, and orchids where there is sufficient moisture. These ‘hatchlings’ may be the same species I found flowering/fruiting in June. Although I posted a photograph of the flowers, I wasn’t able to find the post… I’m over the 300 mark.
Back

Palo Verde Thunderstorms
Until next time.
