I purchased this about a year ago from either Home Depot or Lowe's--probably Lowe's, but I don't know at the moment. The description on the sticker label was rather non-descript. Now that she has gotten older and has made two pups and also now that she has been suffering from lack of watering because I didn't realize how dry the soil was and that she was nourishing a pup...she is much more muted in color. It is not normally pink like this! When I first got this, it was MUCH more red at the top...close to a true red, but perhaps with a bit of an orange hue. It appears to be a Bromelia Guzmania of some sort, but I'm definitely not an expert and that assessment could be wrong.

(Just a reminder, this was purchased at a Home Depot or Lowe's, so it's not likely to be some newer and/or obscure variety. There were lots of these there and I'm sure a big-box store like Lowe's or Home Depot purchased this in bulk.)
