Native Bromeliads of Florida

This book, written by experts from the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, Florida, profiles all 16 of Florida's native species of bromeliads and describes how these unique organisms, sometimes called "air plants," thrive on larger woody hosts without acting as parasites. In addition, with the help of color photographs and illustrations, it discusses why bromeliads have attracted the attention of plant scientists and horticulturalists and offers instruction on how to cultivate these beautiful and fascinating plants.
