Air Plant

7 or 8 years ago my dad ventured to Florida and brought back air plants as souvenir gifts. I didn't know anything about them, I've never heard of a plant that didn't need dirt. Dad said just water and light. Out of pure luck, I managed to keep mine alive and all the other ones dad brought home died. Ed and I keep it on our shower window ledge, so it would get steam, water and sun. Now, for the first time, it's bloomed! I didn't even know it could bloom! It used to be this clump of tropical green stems, now we have red stems with purple and yellow flowers. What an ugly little miracle.
