Sugar Loaf is a Pineapple.

You did a good job bring it back to life.

Thanks turlewalker :0)

Anyone else have any idea what the first pic might be?Any help would be grateful.

Rigo

Maybe Billbergia nutans. That is the kind of thing people would throw away.

Thanks winterlager I just googled it and seems to look like what you have suggested it to be.

If you don't mind me asking, why would some peope want to throw this out?

Rigo

I don't actually have one but I guess it's because they are too common or were too common.

Just wondering

Rigo, Bill. nutans is one of the fastest growers of all bromeliads. When a clump gets exceptionally large and is not in bloom it can look mighty ugly. Kinda "Blah!" Many folks divide the clumps into smaller plants and what can't be used or donated gets thrown out. I know personally that growing nutans is like growing zucchini; when you have a lot to give away you get a lot of doors shut in your face! ;-)
