Would it be Aechmea Fasciata?

Here is a link that might be useful: {{gwi:456469}}

Isn't that aechmea fasciata at the top of this Forum, before it develops the little purple and blue parts? That's how my aechmea fasciata blooms...first just pink, then the rest, then the little parts fade, and the pink part stays for 3 or 4 months.

Trillium, Aechmea fasciata is commonly known as 'Silver Vase.'Your mother was right.

That's exactly it. Thank you so much. Does anyone know how long it takes for a baby to become a mama and produce babies of its own or how long for the mother to produce another baby? The mother is about 1 foot high and almost as big around. My baby was removed from it when it was 3/4 foot high and almost the same size around. Should we have removed it sooner?
