This is funnier and more amusing than I'd even hoped. Thanks for all of the amusing responses!

Bev, guess those really ARE slow growing plants! Wow. Those seen in pics, in the ground, that look like real trees must be SOOO old.

Stush that sans is amazing!

I would probably grab my great grandmother's christmas cactus... although maybe my begonias. I can get more of the CC, but the begonias are going to have to be ordered. Although, I can reorder just about anything, not that I could afford it... lol!

Yes that oddity pups came from Sans. t. hahnii 'Streaker' which is know for being unstable like it's ower.
So far I removed the larest plant out of the pot so the pups will have it all to themselves with out disturbing them. The white ones are turning greyer but the yellow one so far is staying the same. Later I will pot up by itself and see if it pups true. I am having a lot of fun with this one.

NO contest
I can replace all my plants but 1 Tillandsia Utriaculata "Giant Airplant" its on Fla .endangered list and Cites list
and takes a loooong time to get this big. that is a 12" hanging wire basket it's in

Tara, Not sure how old it is but i've had it for 7+ years and i got it from friends in S.C they had it for a couple years and she got it from her father who lived in Florida. not sure how long he had it but it was a decent size when the father had it so it is at least 10 yrs old..I don't do anything special with it . I hang it in my apple tree with my Christmas cactus during the summer make sure it gets a good dousing every week. winter just hang it in my kitchen window and mist it every other day. it isn't in sun just bright light. I did have to take it out of that basket this summer tho. The basket was starting to bend It is in a heavier metal fruit bowl type thing now will get a new pic,soon .

Bev, ain't trying to impress anyone, I just like my airplants There is no muss or fuss with them, and you don't need to sqrub the fingernails
