[GrowRR] Are Bromeliads Orchidaceous Plants?

[iloveyenny1 at aim.com]

Hello,
 
This is my first post and I have a question to the taxanomists on the list or anybody who can help!  My question is, are bromeliads orchidaceous plants? I know bromeliads are in the family of Bromeliaceae and orchids are in the order of Orchidaceae but the word "orchidaceous" describes epiphytic plants, so does that mean all epiphytic plants are orchidaceous, including bromeliads?
 
Thanks,
 
Steve
