Some photos from Botanical Garden in Tenerife, Puerto de la Cruz, few years ago.

Great to see these photos, Peter I love the old gnarled tree with all the epi's ( I think they were epi's!) on

Hi Perry
Thanks, yes this is right, Bromeliaceae.

Best regards

Hello Peter,

I also love that gnarled tree with the natural built-in planters for epiphyts. I bet, in addition to Bromeliads there were probably also Orchids present, if not on this tree, then on another one.

Hello hegar

Yes indeed, epiphytic Bromeliads, Ferns and Orchids are living in the same habitat.
Whether this was fact on this tree, unfortunately I don't remember.

Best regards
