Some of my favorite plants since i learned about them - Tillandsias! Unfortunately, they aren't hardy in my area, plus they need high humidity, since they normally do not grow in soil, and take in water and nutrients thru their leaves. They spend our hot, humid summers outdoors, which they like, but for the eight months they are in, they spend their time in this little hanging greenhouse in our unheated sunroom that i fabricated 
out of PVC pipe and vinyl sheeting. They do get cold, (but don't freeze), and i spray them periodically with warm water, which makes it nice and moist in there for them - I still lose one now and then, and it isn't the best life they could have, but i just love them, and i have to have them around! Works pretty well, they even bloom for me once in a while!
