Sure, let's see them, pitter. In most cases we'll need to see the inflorescence to make an ID, and if they are not common species we may not know them, but we always like to see the pictures anyway!

Ditto, pitter - we would love to see them. Another good internet site for brom identification is Brom-L, the Bromeliad Taxonomists and Growers List. You can send them photos and questions as well. See link below.
