Holly, love those new pots! That bromeliad is an Aechmea hybrid, 'Blue Rain'. The bloom spike should continue to get bigger and more spectacular. Aechmeas send out tall, dramatic bloom spikes, whereas Neoregelias bloom subtly inside their "cup" but tend to have more interesting foliage than Aechmea.
