Nice, glad you saw some of the bloom, so easy to miss them. I have that one, thought it died on me, put it on my sick table and noticed it has a whole new nice offset on it. Gotta love the bromeliads, they keep on going.
Wow, what amazing beauties Sherri and Scott.
This little one, I forget the name, is mounted in a Crape Myrtle and it surprised me with some little flowers.
Poor 'Royal Beauty' has not aged well. I suspect the damp weather we have had this fall has hastened her demise. Normally I leave the mother plant and let the offsets develop but this one is super ugly. There are two offsets that would probably benefit from a few more months attached but I am afraid mom is going to rot so I'll be removing them and keeping my fingers crossed they make it.
Minds are like parachutes; they work better when they are open.
That one with the purple flowers is cute, I forget what they are. If the neoregelia hasn't actually started to rot, you can cut back the leaves over the offsets, allowing them more room to fill out, not real appealing but they seem to grow a bit faster when I do that, giving them more time to mature before removing them.

Aechmea orlandiana, this cluster started from one plant probably five or so years ago, I have three flowering now, always starts in December, and the inflorescence last a few months.
