All Bromelia's have their own Eco-system. An important element in this system is the Hummingbird. This little poultry is often involved with the pollinating of the Bromelia's. What people won't expact from a firm potplant is the fact that they can grow on trees. For example the portraited Aechmea 'Primera' [P] At the end it's odd to know that Bromelia's accomodate little frogs, crabs, snakes or even scorpions in their natural environment.
