Identify Mystery Houseplant?

I saw a plant at a Chinese Restaurant that I loved. They said it was a kind of Bromeliad but didn’t know the variety. It has long draping leaves, reddish orange flowers that are sort of lacey looking. Do you have any idea what it might be?

Hi Tony,

My best guess is a Bromeliad Ramosa.

Bright red lacey Bromeliad ramos

Bromeliad
Aechmea ramosa

Is this what the plant you saw looks like? It’s a type of bromeliad called a Aechmea ramosa. You can read more about Bromeliad care in the Popular HousePlant section of the website.
