@pzmyers What type of flower is that? A bromeliad, maybe? Those are epiphytes, not parasites!

@Photorat @pzmyers amaryllis, I think. Bromeliads look more like wonderful layers of color

@rubah @pzmyers I'm not good with flower identification. I thought maybe PZ was intentionally smearing the good name of epiphytes, because he is an avowed anti-botanite.
