Bromeliad ID

Melbourne, FL

Probably a common one, but this is my first to bloom. Would like to put a name to this one.

Looks like billbergia pyramidalis to me.

You're welcome! Those are really impressive when they form big clumps and all bloom at the same time.

Do you cut the bloom off when it looks tired?

West Orange, NJ(Zone 6a)

I have one of those in bloom, check out my photos just posted.
I cut off the inflorescence when it is done, yes (my first for this one but I've had B. nutans and a guzmania in bloom before).

Coffs Harbour, Australia

Hi Raggins, I sharply pull the bloom out when it has turned brown. It comes out easily, but giving it a sharp tug helps (by not pulling the whole plant out of the ground)
Lovely pics all, keep them coming.
