@ctrl-alt-nwo, Great to know about this The Old Man's Beard ( Tillandsia usneoides ). plants and also Informative to know that these plants doesn't need the Water and live on the basis of Air. And yes, it's purely reflecting as Beard Of Old Man or Ancient Man. And most importantly these plants can become the hanging decorative pieces. And sometimes i think that we just explored cent percent of the nature's creations and there are unlimited aspects which we have to see. And whenever i see these kind of the creations then it inspires me to know more towards those subjects which i am not aware yet and nature is an surprising aspect for sure.
Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂
