Thought we take another look at the epiphytes in the rainforest. There are so many types like wild orchids, cacti , lichens , mosses, ferns, bromeliads .. but the most common ones are those in this picture. Epiphytes , also known as air plants, grow on branches, trunks and leaves. Life begins when the birds and strong winds blow the seeds and spores onto these unusual spots on the tall trees. These days many home decorators will pay high prices to get these exotic plants. The longer the leaf span, the better it is. Next , I will have to look out for the protected species , insect eating - pitcher plants.
