I thank you very much. It is an indoor plant and I will certainly ask around for the official name.

PS, I did some snooping around and discovered that it is a "Pink Vase Bromeliad." They make a wonderful house plant and are pleasing to look at.

This is a terrific looking flower! I love the shape and colors in it.

Greatly appreciated. I thought I would venture inside this Garden Supply Center and am I glad I did. I discovered a treasure trove of photo opportunities with indoor plants.

Thnx,

Welcome. Should have also noted that it's a bromeliad (pineapples are bromeliads, too)

**DW58** · 04-21-2021, 06:38 AM

Very tropical looking. Beautiful color.

**Sailor** · 04-21-2021, 06:55 AM

Wow - looks exotic, Tony. Nice job.

Thnx again. As my close personal friend, Homer Simpson would say: "Hhhmmmm, Pineapples."

As it happens, pineapple is my favorite fruit! <yum>

However, I don't grow any bromeliads (at present)...they're easy here (south Florida), but they are snail magnets and most of the commonly cultivated ones require water in the "vase" all the time, which is prime mosquito breeding habitat. So I admire them in other people's gardens (and photo galleries

)
