The first plant, 1st 2 pics, looks to be Aechmea Rubens.

2nd - don't know.

3rd - some kind of xGuzVriesea, maybe 'Garden Party'. Looks to be sitting next to an Imperialis.

4th - No idea

5th - Vriesea, maybe 'Red Chestnut'

The 3rd pic looks to be Tillandsia deppeana. A close-up of the individual flowers would help.

My guess on the 3rd pic is Vriecantarea 'Inferno'. It looks pretty similar to the one I have developing in my yard, now.
4th pic, I have no idea, but I wouldn't mind having it in my collection! 5th pic looks like it could be Vriesea bleherae... hard to tell size from the scale of the picture. Last pic is definitely a Vr. fosteriana. Could be from seed, or tissue culture. I'm not sure what the protocol is on naming seedlings grown from cultivars. In my experience, it is possible to have some variation even from self- pollinated Vr. fosteriana.

I'd say the red one is inferno.
The yellow one no idea. Eva? (V.'Vigeri' x V.'Cardinalis') or vriesea California Gold (eva's daughter).
The purple one looks like bleherae but i haven't seen enough pictures to confirm. Its blooming now and the bract is yellow, a bit greenish.

With the 3rd pic probably being 'Inferno' then the 4th pic could be another John Arden hybrid...Vriecantarea 'Bursting Wings'. Looks Alcantarea imperialis Rubra in the background of pic's 3 & 4, so the size would be about right. Very nice plant what ever it is.

Vriesea bleheri: An interesting Brazilian miniature that rarely exceeds 6in tall, even when in bloom! With reddish-purple foliage it forms grassy clumps with many adventitious offsets. The inflorescence is a simple spike with bright yellow flowers. A showy miniature that works well in a terrarium or in any small space garden. 4in pots.

Sounds like mine, specially cause I bought it a place specialized in small plants for terrariums and frogs.

How to you force the purple in it? Full sun?
Thanks!!

Paul, I believe you ID'd #3 correctly. 40 lashes for me with a wet noodle!

Rociom,
4th pic is very likely a hybrid of 'Eva'. It's also a good guess that John Arden might be involved.... might be worth contacting him to see if he can enlighten us.
From your description of the developing inflorescence, it sounds like that would confirm ID of Vr. bleherae. Note that the species has been given a new spelling.

BTW,I like your web page and journal!

gonzer,
I make no claims to be infallible! :-)
