This bloom photo does appear to be of a Billbergia but I don't think it's correct for B. pyramidalis.

Lin, I think it's correct, it's just hard to tell because it's such an extreme close up of one flower. It might help if you compare it to this picture I took where you can see lots of the individual flowers. Just imagine if I zoomed way in on one and that's what it would look like.

Thanks Melanie! *Blush* I see now, that it's a beautiful close up of a single bloom and Dinu's description even stated that fact.

Yeah, my camera can't get near that level of macro! Pretty amazing!

My camera is an FZ8 Lumix, now in its tenth year. That image was shot in 2012. I have no extra lenses, but the Leica lens - built in - has performed very well, keeping its reputation.
