Aechmea mulfordii
Aechmea mulfordii, the living vase bromelia, is native to the states of Pernambuco and Bahia in eastern Brazil. Most of the other plants in this genus are epiphytic, which means that they live up in the branches of the trees and exist mainly on the moisture and nutrients they obtain from the air. However, Aechmea mulfordii is a large terrestrial plant, growing near the sea level on sand dunes.
