Plant ID please
Hi all.
I had just finished helping a neighbour that has recently lost her husband with a small plumbing job, when in the way inside I commented on one of her plants "I like that one". She quickly picked it up and gave it to me as a thank you.
Can anyone ID it for me please.
Thanks,

I think you're onto it Cliff. Very different to the last bromeliad I had.
Thanks, .

Yeah I'd say the same, an older guy across the road has planted a couple of hundred on the traffic island at the end of my street, the variety is pretty impressive as are the flowers.

If it has a 'hollow' center then its a Bromeliad.
But it looks like something I have growing in my jungle, comes in both variegated and plain green varieties - no idea what the real name is. If it is then it will grow up to 2.4m tall before falling over - when it falls over it then sprouts more shoots along the horizontal portion. Nurseries seem to propagate them by cutting the stems into short lengths and just sticking them into a pot, you get a bit of the old main stem and it then sprouts furiously just below the top of the old stem.

What bsrlee is describing sounds like a cordyline or a dracaena.

Thanks all. Just to close it out here is a pic of its water tank, so I'm pretty sure it's a bromeliad, but as a gardener I make a wonderful electrical engineer
