Zebra Bromeliad

This colorful creature hangs from trees in the tropics alongside orchids and air plants.

Noticing the black and white stripes on the leaves, I didn’t have to google this bromeliad to know what it was called.

It drinks the rain water that collects in the pockets of its large rubbery leaves. As the bromeliad comes in many varieties, you can collect many different ones as houseplants.
