Is this Vriesea fosteriana 'Vista' ?

San Leandro, CA(Zone 9b)

I saw this one today at a nursery and I may have to go back for it. The price was so steep though, if it is a common one I do not want to spend the $100 on it. It was a large one. About a 2 foot spread. It was much prettier in person.

Kell, I don't think it's "Vista". Looks like Vriesa fosteriana
"Red Chestnut" to me. Red Chestnut blushes red to maroon in bright light
Never see any of these fancy Vriesa's in my area. Pretty rare I would think.
