Hi. This finally bloomed for me this year and I did not write down the name when I got it years ago. I believe it's a bromeliad but I can't find this one in a picture. Does anyone know?

Yes, it is a Bromeliad but I'm not sure which one. Are you aware that your 'mother plant' is having babies? Also known as 'pups'. At least I think I see one on the left side of the pot. It's either kinda hidden by a leaf or else I'm seeing a twisted leaf.

I'm sure someone else will hop in and give you a definitive answer.

It is a Billbergia for sure, but exactly what kind, I'm not sure, there are many hybrids, but the plant markings resembles Billbergia vittata. One way or the other you have an very nice healthy bromeliad. Thumbs up Thumbs up
