Bromeliad (Guzmania lingulata) pink flower is an ideal indoor or office plant. They're one of those plants that blooms once when it hits maturity, and then slowly dies off as it puts all its energy into producing new plants, called pups. Bromeliad blooms last up to six months, so you get a long-lived bloom for the plant's lone flower show.
A rather eclectic display, some of which I have never seen before. All confined to an indoor enclosure.
I went into the market to buy some carrots but I came out with this lovely bloom and forgot the carrots. :-)
I missed capturing these vibrant beauties the first time they bloomed, but I got another chance when they bloomed a second time this year. Billbergia Pyramidalis or Flaming Torch.

Found this in our garden center's hothouse. A nice place to visit while waiting for Winter to give up and move on.
An Ananas or pineapple plant in the garden. Here, we see the bract of the bromeliad with its purple flowers that will eventually develop into a fruit.
