Burgeoning

This poor little airplant is burgeoning under the responsibility and weight of feeding her babies. There are about 8 around the main plant. I may be able to remove them via a scalpel later this year or early next Spring which would enable the mother to survive, otherwise it's inevitable that she will die in the process of reproducing. My success rate is rather like that of an inner city academy for drug pushers and gun runners. :-(
