Bromeliaceae
Bromeliad Family
There are over 3000 different species of this flowering plant that are mostly native to the tropical regions of the Americas. Most bromeliads are ornamental as they are a low maintenance hearty plant. However, there is one species that is harvested for food. It's the pineapple. You can cut the top off of a pineapple and plant it to grow your own. We did that once. It took a few years for it to produce on sweet, tiny little pineapple. Below are images of flowering bromeliads.
