I was just reading where Bullis will occasionally welcome retail customers if they are not busy. If they are busy however they can be less than welcoming.

I would try Tropiflora, and actually e-mail or phone them with the request because they have many more broms than what is listed on their website. www.tropiflora.com They're in North Sarasota and such a pleasure to deal with and visit.
ps. that picture looks to me like it's been 'enhanced' to exaggerate the colors a bit.
Thanks for the recommendations. Put them all on my list of future day trips.
I found "Dean" at Maree Farms in Ft Myers, FL today. Brought a big smile to my face. I think this one is worthy of a new huge ceramic planter. Sure to be a focal point in the island bed.
Ok so maybe I threw in a few more. I couldn't pass up 3 for $25 and they are each about 25" tall.
Since you like the big ones you should look for a Billbergia 'La Ve En Rose'. It get huge and blooms freely when mature. The flower are large and showy too.
