Thanks for the visit .... wishing you a happy week :-)

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.

Does this qualify for HBW????

Past from few days i have been thinking about life a lot n i realized one fact that to be alone gives you a lot of peace n gives you a lot of space to think about ur self. i think its the stage of my life where i can stand alone, but still be happy.

attachment was what spoiling my peace all the time.now i have slowly started to be on my own n not to be attached to any one...n i shud say i am really happy guys :)

so i want to dedicate this picture to all those who are standing alone to achieve some thing, to be one with the self n to realize there own self.

And guys please dont comment on my pictures for the heck of commenting [don worry i would still comment on ur picture :)....]

and don comment if u don mean it and plzzzzz don use ur templates to comment on my pictures.i feel we are here to share our thoughts through our pictures n not to make others to comment on our pictures. any comments and critiques are much appreciated

i am still a beginner so please feel free to express ur Thoughts.

Have a wonderful week ahead!!!

Thank you all !
