Alcantarea imperialis

Check out this Alcantarea bromeliad in my yard. After blooming, the plant dies but it does send up small grass like plants. This one took about six years to bloom. The flowers smell like cinnamon. #tropicalflowers #bromiliad

Spiders: beneficial creatures. We have a lot of black and brown widows in our yard but they are very reclusive. I leave them alone. They are almost never seen unless something gets disturbed, I grow giant alcantarea bromeliads and the spiders spin webs over the leaves waiting for mosquitoes.
