Flowering Air plant

 


My air plant also known as Tillandsia Ionantha "Conehead". It is growing on a piece of textured wood and lives in the bathroom, I just lightly spray it with water once a week. The green spiky leaves turn red/pink when flowering. I've seen the purple flowers most years that I've had the plant but the flowers only last a couple of days before wilting.  I've read that the plant dies after flowering so the flowers I see every year must be from new pups.

Unusual flowers for FOTD






I can see a face of a wonderful creature with spiky hair and purple horns. So I've drawn it just in case you couldn't see it. Oops missed off the horns.
With this face I'm joining in with Friday Face Off

Another digital tablet doodle.

I decided to do a bit of embroidery on this plain linen shirt.

I've been on my first ocean cruise, I went to Norway, it's very beautiful.
