Definitely a guzmania. Maybe Guzmania conifera in its early stage of developing inflorescence, or a hybrid of it like Guz. 'Candy Corn'?

A side-on view of flower head would help, plus dimensions.
Anyone else have an idea?

Cheers,

Hi Kerry...yes I agree. The leaves and the early flower fit....I just wish they wernt soooo slow.

I doubt it's a hybrid, and G. conifera's inflorescence is too "pointy". I checked FCBS, and the closest match there seems to be G. claviformis, but you can scroll through the index and see what you think:

Thank you all. I see its a G,claviformis. Pic of the flower.
