If this has a "real" name, I don't know it. We call these "Fingernail" bromeliads, or "Painted Fingernail" bromeliads locally. When grown in full sun they get a pronounced pattern toward the center and the tips get really bright. They are also extremely cold hardy. I have always thought they might be a cross of Neoregelia Spectabilis
