#356 What Am I?Asked without an answer! Another pic from Butchart Gardens. I'll have more than a few more to share before the day is over! I don't know what this is---I keep meaning to ask the staff out there but haven't yet...
so if you know, please share with me!

Looks like a type of staghorn fern. Very cool photo.

Not a clue, Donna, but wow, what a cool plant!!

I think it might be a Bullwinkle Antler Plant. Very rare in these parts but native to Canada. Wonderful shot...love all the detail!

I think that both Debra and Madelaine are right!

I've just been browsing your blog. Look at all the wonderful photos I've missed commenting on in my absence!! I always love your site. You have a fabulous "eye" for photos.

As to this plant, I am not 100% positive, yet, I am fairly positive it is a Bromeliad. We all know Bromelaids. Pineapple is the one that comes to mind first. But some (in fact, maybe most) are parasite plants that grow on their host plant. And are usually exquisite - not just the plant itself, but the blooms.

I, too, think it's a bromeliad. This series of photos are great - what a lovely place to wander around and photograph.
