Tillandsia recurvata (small ballmoss)

I was really surprised to see these - they are "air plants" - plants that grow without roots in the soil. These plants are pretty benign to their hosts and are often for sale in garden stores for $20 in a kitschy hanging pot. They also make spotting birds hard because the visual field is no longer most thin lines with the odd ball of bird.

Despite the name "ballmoss", this is not a moss.
