My entry to the Phone Photography Contest #63 [En-Es] The bromeliad
Hello friends.
Hola amigos.
These inflorescences are from a plant of the genus Billbergia.
Estas inflorescencias son de una planta del g茅nero Billbergia.
They belong to the Bromeliaceae family, that is, the same family as pineapples.
Pertenecen a la familia Bromeliaceae, es decir de la misma familia que las 馃崓 pi帽as.
I had them for several years and they had multiplied without much care.
Ten铆a varios a帽os con ellas y se hab铆an multiplicado sin necesidad de muchos cuidados.
They were in a pot on a plastic chair. I took pictures of and made a post about them.
Estaban en maceta sobre una silla pl谩stica. Les tom茅 fotos e hice una publicaci贸n sobre ellas.
I once saw bees visiting them.
En una ocasi贸n vi abejas visit谩ndolas.
I tried to take macro photos where its purple fruits could be seen.
Intent茅 hacer fotos macro donde se vieran sus frutos color morado.
I thought they'd take care of themselves, so I watered them occasionally. I also didn't transplant the new ones or fertilize them.
Cre铆 que se cuidar铆an solas y las regaba de vez en cuando. Adem谩s no trasplant茅 las nuevas ni las fertilic茅.
Unfortunately, it was invaded by snails. Now all that remains is a few cuttings and the hope of seeing it bloom again.
Lamentablemente fue invadida por caracoles. Ahora s贸lo quedan algunos recortes y la esperanza de volver a verla florecer.
All photos were taken by me with Xiaomi Redmi 9C, Blu R1 HD and Xiaomi Redmi 9A devices.
Todas las fotos fueron tomadas por m铆 con dispositivos Xiaomi Redmi 9C, Blu R1 HD y Xiaomi Redmi 9A.
Thank you so much for stopping by and reading my post.
Muchas gracias por detenerse y leer mi publicaci贸n.
