The Tillandsia species indeed belong to the weirdest plants existing so far. With no or only short roots in order to fix the plant, they grow on trees, cacti, bare rocks and even power poles. So the plants do literally live in the air, using all rainwater and dust (containing essential minerals) they can get! And when their time has come many of them produce beautiful flowers ...
This is Tillandsia leonamiana, syn. T. meridionalis var. subsecundifolia. These and other species are fairly easy in the greenhouse. Many of them can also be successfully grown on the windowsill of a living room, with some additional care.

Yes, you're very right - Tillandsia belongs to the Bromeliaceae!
A stunning display of vibrant colours.

The way your mother grows her Tillandsias is the optimal one, since many species like a place in the garden, and don't need any further care then. In our regions, of course, one can do so only in summertime.
