Air Plants and Mosses From Tropical Americas
Air plants belong to Bromehacen and include orchids, though true air plants differ from orchids. The New Orleans moss or Old Man's Heard drapes trees in Mexico and the West Indies, forming living rooms of moss. Moss fiber is used to stuff mattresses and some leaves retain water. air plants tolerate drought, and many have fragrant flowers. In Argentina I saw them hung from branches or in crotches, with long sharp leaves and red pink or yellow flowers. The pineapple is the best known edible order member, prized for fiber used in white muslin. Philippine uses fetch high sums, while flowers can emit odors. A HANDSOME woman pleases the eye, but a good woman charms the heart. CHEERFULNESS is a spark from heaven.
