I  got the ayolla in pink knickers some earlier this year, stuck them on a log and apart from the excitement of spraying them with water now and again they don't do nothing. She wants the hairy one now, so I shall  get some dried moss and scrunch it up. It will do the same job. Nice flower though if they ever get around to  it.

See, I want one that sounds the same as your good lady wants Ace.  There is one, and it hangs down like ribbons.  Hey ho, I was hoping there was an air plant fancier who might have some ickle babies they didn't want and could palm of on me as a starter kit on ebay is £17 and the ones at my local nurseries and gardencentres are all a few squid each - just being cheap I guess....should empty out the moth infested purse and see if I can stretch to buying some.... :-\

Just for a moment there I thought you were asking about something similar to the air guitar, EJ. ;D
