Hi Guys, can you please help me name these beautiful plants

I have included some photos of some of my plants.

1: My beautiful Red, slim long leaves and have three plants in the one pot.

2: A close-up of my beautiful light green slim leaves with a beautiful red centre. You can see the flower that is starting to show. The flower will be a Pink and Purple flower.

3: A view of this plant further away.

Any help will be appreciated. I should not re-pot plant when a flower is about to show itself, should I?

Guessing here - it will help when we can get a closer look at the inflorescence and flowers. I'd say both are Neoregelias. There are some Nidulariums that look like #2 (if the spike comes up out of the cup that will probably confirm it, though some of them stay in the cup too).

#1 could be any number of Neo. Fireball type small stoloniferous hybrid types. They are more epiphytic growers and can do quite well mounted.

Given your near-ideal growing conditions for them, #2 wants more light (unless it's a Nid) - the leaves will get shorter and wider, and may color up too.

Go back to the aussie forum and post them pics on the brom thread.My friends on their will be able to let you know.That thread is nothing but Broms.

I agree that we are looking at Neoregelias. Unlike other bromeliads, their leaves will be the color, not a flower stalk. Here are a couple I grow and sell. The first is 'Voodoo Doll' and the other is 'Michi'.

Thank you all,
I appreciate your help and will post on Aust Broms.

Just want to share the flower as it is more visable now.

Love all my fellow gardener's help,

Debi

Debi, when you go to the bottom of the post, you should see a large box to reply. Below that box should be "Upload Images to your reply" and a small clickable box, "Choose a File". Click on this small "Choose a File" box. At that point (on my computer) a file box will open on the left hand side and the file "Libraries" will be there and under "Libraries" will be the folder "Pictures". I click on "Pictures" and that opens up my entire pictures folder. I then click on a picture, click on "open", and that uploads the picture to your reply. Ken
