3rd Place - Queen's Tears

Queen's Tears (Billbergia nutans)

Photo Submitted by Sandra1977

Marie: This was the first photo submitted for the challenge and it just stuck with me. Sandra has posted many photos of her wonderful plants, indoors and out, and there's always something I haven't seen before. This Billbergia nutans, or 'Queen's Tears' is such an intricate blossom, presented so simply. Wouldn't you love to see the whole plant covered in these elongated bells?

Scotty: Until Sandra posted it,I had never heard of this plant but I will certainly never forget it. Just look at it.Isn't that beautiful?

Congratulations, Sandra!
