I don\u2019t remember where my first Queen\u2019s Tears plant came from originally. I would guess I\u2019ve had it for about seven or eight years. I\u2019ve divided it into three pots and pretty much neglect them all and these sturdy plants don\u2019t care. They keep growing and blooming every spring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These plants aren\u2019t particularly attractive and the flowers are more interesting than they are showy or beautiful, but their simplicity earns them a place in the greenhouse. The only other bromeliads I have are the air plants (mostly tillandsias) that grow on a branch in the greenhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
