PR-23-04-11 To ID a Bromeliad,:  I got the most delightful surprise today while watering my plants. This
bromeliad had burst into bloom without my having noticed the bud forming.
I was thinking of Billbergia sp.

Looks like Freycinetia sp. to me.

It is Bilbergia pyramidalis
 
Billbergia pyramidalis var. concolor;
