EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty of an epiphytic bromeliad, a non-parasitic plant belonging to the family Bromeliaceae. The image captures the bromeliad gracefully growing on a subtropical rainforest tree in the botanic gardens of Funchal, Madeira, a picturesque European island located in Portugal. Epiphytic bromeliads are fascinating plants that rely on host trees for support while obtaining water and nutrients through their leaves. In this photograph, we witness how these remarkable organisms have adapted to their environment by attaching themselves to branches and thriving amidst lush foliage. The intricate details of this epiphyte are brought into focus as it stands out against the backdrop of its host tree. Its vibrant green leaves create a striking contrast against the bark, emphasizing its unique presence within nature's tapestry. As we delve deeper into botanical exploration, this image serves as a reminder of the incredible diversity found within our natural world. From its biological classification as an angiosperm monocotyledon to its role as an air plant in sub-tropical regions like Madeira, there is much to learn from studying these extraordinary flora. Science Photo Library has once again captured nature's wonders with precision and artistry through this stunning portrayal of an epiphytic bromeliad flourishing in harmony with its surroundings.
