Which Aechmea is this?

20 years ago

Large with nice red back. I've heard the name fulgens roaming around, at least as one of the parents. Any ideas?

I'm assuming this is a fairly large plant? Looks a lot like Ae. 'Fulgo-ramosa' (fulgens x ramosa), but without a flower it's hard to say for sure.

I have a similar looking one called Aechmea chantinii x fulgens discolor which will have a bright red inflorescence. The burgundy is darker with higher light levels.
