The bromeliad family contains over 3000 described species. 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.

They come in a wide range of sizes from tiny miniatures to giants. They can be grown indoors in cooler climates and can also be used outdoors where temperatures stay above freezing.
