I walked out my backdoor on Sunday to discover this bromeliad covered in pretty pink blossoms. I don't know the name of it, but my mother always refers to it as the "Christmas bromeliad" because it always blooms at Christmastime.
Its hot pink color with touches of white and fluorescent blue tips was a pleasant Christmas surprise.
A BIG thank you to Sylvia at My Trinkets for identifying this bromeliad as Bilbergia.

I love this plant, it looks like my Bilbergia! The colors are amazing.
Sylvia...I visited your blog and I do believe you have just identified my bromeliad as Bilbergia. Thanks so much! By the looks of your blog, you look very creative. I love the teacher's gift idea...I would think they would, too. Thanks for dropping by.
I have wondered about the name of this bromeliad for so long ~~ it is going in my official plant files tonight so I don't forget it again. Mine hasn't started blooming yet~~ it was a pass-along from my neighbor a few years back.
Yours is full of pink blooms, Susan. So pretty.
Meems..Yes, thanks to Sylvia we now know the name. My plant is a passalong from my mom. Thank God for kind gardeners that share their bounty.
