Possibly a seed that survived a bird's digestive tract and had enough shit and nutrients to get that far. Not long for the world, though.
Bonus: fish populating an isolated pond can be caused by a birds as well

How the fish?

Birds will sometimes get fish eggs stuck to their feet, and when they try to fish isolated ponds the eggs will break free and populate the water

It appears to be some sort of bromeliad. Many bromeliad species don’t really have roots, but instead grow on top of rocks or other plants like trees. They get their water and nutrients from the atmosphere directly rather than from their roots. Some species even have leaf shapes that make like a bucket in the center to capture water to use. Anyways, they’re cool plants. And some have absolutely beautiful flowers.

I was 1000% expecting to get rick rolled or helled in a cell, thanks for the interesting facts!
