| Hi..appreciate the help
What are this Bromeliad ? there are two of the same in the photo, from the Florida. I thought they were Tillandsias but have small spines in the margins of the leaves. http://2.fimagenes.com/i/3/7/33/am_5354_3882371_906037.jpg |

| It looks like and Aechmea recurvata, probably var. benrathii (although I have three 'forms' of benrathii...I think most people tend to call any small form of recurvata a variety benrathii). -andy |

| I agree with the Ae. recurvata part, Andy, but not the v. benrathii part. It's a little too dried out to say for sure, but benrathii generally has a lot of purplish black pigment in the lower leaf, at least if it's been in the sun. Although it will grow epiphytically, it would probably be happier in a pot than mounted and treated like a Tillandsia. |
