At the prison term , my wife ’s friend allege ( spoken with her Ukrainian accent ) , “ It is a unspoiled hobby for a husband to have . ” A year and style too many tillandsias to fit in the terrarium subsequently , I run across another citation . “ Tillandsias are the crack cocaine of bromeliad collecting . ” Luckily you’re able to always find some place to put just one more !
