Me either, but it's a keeper! Have moved it around the garden, looks good! Cold sensitive ones are a pain, but more colorfull. Matchsticks are another one, cold hardy, but just green all summer till there time in the fall......

I think it's painted fingernails or something like that due to the red tips of the leaves. :o)

Those are some beautiful broms, Wallisadi! I've pretty much given up on the less hardy ones as they never seem to make it through the winter for me and they're too expensive to keep replacing year after year. And I refuse to move anymore plants inside for the winter then I absolutely have to.

Katkin, you're probably right that it's related to the painted fingernails although they don't seem to have the spots that the ones in the picture have.

I have found that the bromeliads have different coloring depending on how much sun they receive.
