I noticed a Monarch Butterfly that had just hatched from its cocoon this AM. What a Beautiful sight to observe this creature drying its wings! The specimen is is resting on a Foxtail palm, next to a small Giant Air Plant. Before cocooning, the caterpillar had been feeding on the Milkweed plants in my Butterfly Garden.

Is that a wild bromelaid??? I saw a whole lot of them on that river boat cruise at Jonathan Dickenson! I love them...they are wispier than the bromelaids in the stores!
They are giant air plants (small ones!). In the same family with bromelaids and orchids.
