Day of the Triffids

While we were in Florida, we picked up a small plant that had fallen out of a tree. I called it a triffid, but it is apparently an epiphytic perennial bromeliad known as Tillandsia argentea. We've got it in the shower right now, but it seems like that won't provide enough light. Maybe it will do better in the kitchen, provided that it gets misted on a regular basis. Air plants... how weird is that?
