Can someone ID this brome, I think it may be a Portea of some type.  Broken tortilla warmer for scale. Thanks.

Looks to be a pretty Aechmea of some sort, but there are hundreds at least, so it's difficult to know.  Looks like one called Aechmea Pinot Noir somewhat.  It would help to see the inflorescence.

Looks like the Androlepis Skinneri that I have. I just separated 20 pups from it.

You know, I did consider Androlepis Skinneri because of the pointy tips, but mine has a lot less red on it and the leaves are broader.  However, when I looked on the internet there is a lot of variability.  Don't know for sure.

It's xAndrolaechmea O'Rourke. It won't color up if it doesn't get enough sun.

Well, that would make perfect sense.  A cross between and aechmea and an androlepis.  The aechmea gives it the potential intense red color and narrower leaves, and the androlepis gives it the stiff habit, pointy leaves and serrated edge?  Sounds very reasonable to me!

Thanks for all the replies, it does look like Androlepis and xAndrolaechmea even more so.  For what it's worth, it was quite green when I planted it last fall, it's gotten much redder in the sun.  Hopefully it will flower soon. Thanks again.
