I just got a bag of tillandsia from a lady who lives in S. Florida. She says they grow "all over the place", mainly on oaks and crepe myrtle trees, often along-side Spanish moss. However she doesn't know exactly what this tillandsia is. Can you ID it for me? My guess is that it is "Ball moss", T. recurvate, but I would like to know for certain so that I can properly label it. The first and last pics were done with flash and the middle two in natural (greenhouse) light. When dry, the leaves are grayish and when wet, they are light green. There are lots of spent bracts/blooms present, flower color unknown.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
