A Tallandsia Cyanea bromeliad blooms in a Holualoa garden. According to the Bromeliad Society International, bromeliads are members of a plant family known as Bromeliaceae. The family contains more than 3,000 described species in approximately 56 genera. The most well-known bromeliad is the pineapple. The family contains a wide range of plants including some very un-pineapple like members such as Spanish moss (which is neither Spanish nor a moss). Other members resemble aloes or yuccas while still others look like green, leafy grasses. Dennis Klimke/Community Contributor
