Air plants - Tillandsia - Spanish Moss?
A rather nice one, made up into a wreath and suspended pretty much invisibly by fishing line. I have others similar to this, but they seem to be non-flowering.
Not sure what this is - possibly Spanish Moss, which I last saw 52 years ago in South Carolina? It seems to be a miniature non-flowering version. I pinched a small piece from someone in Port Alfred a number of years ago, and now there are several strands of it in some of my trees. I've now seen several other specimens around town - none of them very large.
How did it get into South Africa? Some academic on sabbatical?
