Fall is a great time to plant hardy plants. Although air temps are cooling down, the soil temp is still relatively warm. Plants have time for the soil to settle around newly-planteds, before winter arrives.
The cultivar of this bromeliad is 'Grape Jelly' Given this name, because of its leaf coloration. This brom has sharp spines, that will cut. Grape Jelly is a type of Dyckia:

This little LIMEQUAT is blooming! Hard to believe I got it, this past spring, in a 4 inch pot, bumped up to a 6 inch pot, and it is already flowering, and may set a couple limequat fruit. For anyone unfamiliar with citrus, a limequat is a hybrid between a kumquat and a key lime...

STAGHORN FERN or Platycerium. This plant was given its name, because its fronds resemble the antlers of a staghorn deer. These ferns can get quite big. I recently bumped up my Staghorn Fern to a 12 inch hanging basket, but they can also be mounted onto a plaque of wood. Being epiphytic, they absorb nitrogen from the air, and can also absorb nutrients from decaying leaves, that fall on them, in the wild:
