Rainbow colored buds with one bud opening into a lily-like flower. Queen’s Tears (Bilbergia nutans), aka Friendship Plant is an air plant that can thrive in subtropical environments. Queen’s Tears have drooping multicolor buds perhaps resembling royal tears. They are easily propagated lending itself to the nickname Friendship Plant. I can think of other names for this rainbow colored plant of friendship and tears. Copyright 2025 Pamela Breitberg
