Thanks Violet. I love that one too. It's special to me for several reasons. First, it was a plant from my sister, Diana's Memorial Service the middle of June.

My very first bromeliad, from about 16 years ago when we moved in this house, came from Diana. I still have many of those today, and get pups from them each year. So you can see why that bromeliad is so special to me. It reminds me every day of my sister. She had Multiple Sclerosis and was diagnosed 16 years ago, right after we moved in here. Diana would have absolutely loved that red bromeliad. :-)

Second, here it is, 4 months, as of tomorrow, and it's still got that same bloom on it. Not quite as lovely, but there just the same. I've never known a bloom on a bromeliad to last that long. I'm sure that the fella that sent that plant spent a whole lot of money on it. I've gotten several pups from it and started new pots of it. I've taken many photos of the plant and each one is as pretty as the next one. Third, the rest of my bromeliads have pink blooms, so that one really stands out from the bunch. I just love that color of red.
