where to get a good ID

19 years ago

I have inherited my parents bromeliad-it was going into the garbage, and I said 'I'll take it'

this sucker is older than me, so 25+ years old. it has verigated leaves-creamy green and dark green. sounds fairly simple to id, right?

except that its total size in height is a whopping 5 inches, with someone pulling the leaves up ;)

its been pretty abused over the years, and keeps on kicking... like the time I accidentally sunburned it. But, somehow, someway, it keeps on living. most of the leaves are 3-4 inches long, pointed oval in shape. I don't remember it ever flowering. It IS reproducing, sending out babies at the bottom... theres a total of 8 current rosettes on it.

I really want to know if it would be ok in a terrarium with orchids and other high humidity bromeliads. so, suggestions on id places (I tried looking at the HUGE sites with 4000+ pictures, but that gets old fast since I have no clue what I'm looking for)
