I gave my smallest Lesser Tenrec (Azizi) the run of my cushion whilst I cleaned him out. He was quite relaxed on there.
Tillandsia cyanea or Pink Quill is a species of flowering plant in the bromeliad family, subfamily Tillandsioideae. An epiphyte native to Ecuador, T. cyanea is among the most commonly cultivated bromeliad species. The foliage grows in a rosette of thin, recurved leaves and the inflorescence is a plume of pink or red bracts from which violet flowers emerge.
The beautiful deep purple perfumed flowers will start from the bottom of the bract and will appear, usually one at a time, first from one side and then the other, working their way to the top over several weeks. The plume lasts for ages and makes a great indoor as well as outdoor plant.

A shy porcupine came to visit. Wouldn't smile for me, kept his back to me most of the time. Handy tho to show the mixed colors of the various sized arsenal on his back. Single quills are interspersed with bristles, underfur, and hair.
"Porcupines' quills, or spines, take on various forms, depending on the species, but all are modified hairs coated with thick plates of keratin, embedded in the skin musculature. Quills are released by contact or may drop out when the porcupine shakes its body. New quills grow to replace lost ones.
Despite what is commonly believed, porcupines do not have the ability to launch their quills at range." wikipedia
That's a good thing.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
My post yesterday of this visiting porcupine did look odd, making some wonder where his head was. Here's another shot of him as he slowly vamoosed showing a profile of his small head.
Their nose and bellies are where predators attack them so they do their best to keep their back to attackers and not get turned over.
Porcupines have a relatively high longevity and hold the record for being the longest-living rodent, with one individual named Cooper living past 32 years. Not surprising when they have those hurtful weapons on their backs.
A baby porcupine is a porcupette. When born, a porcupette's quills are soft hardened hair. They harden within a few days, forming the sharp quills of adults. Hmmm, interesting name for the one thing you shouldn't do is pet a porcupine.....
Thanks for any comments, faves and suggestions!
I believe this porcupine is a female because in a nearby tree was also a baby porcupine. This porcupine was happily eating leaves way up in this tree.

Quilling is the art of rolled, shaped, and glued paper that results in creating a unified, decorative design. The name quilling is thought to come from the origin of the art; birds' feathers, or quills, were used to coil the strips of paper around."

Rorschach gave the most realistic quilling effects, but Florav2 created some gorgeous images, too.

Pink Quill (Tillandsia cyanea)
I have never seen a plant quite like the Pink Quill. My photo doesn't quite do the plant justice as the pink and purple seemed so vibrant in person. The plant has beautiful pink quills (hence the name), and purple flower bloom from the quill. I've read that it's a relatively easy to care for house plant. Definitely on my list :-)
