The closest I could come to the bromeliad is Vriesea paratiensis.<BR/><BR/>http://fcbs.org/pictures.htm <BR/><BR/>It is for sure a Vriesa.<BR/><BR/>Now don't let the life at a posh resort fool you into moving there. If you need to continue to produce an income another island might be a better choice at your professional level. Of course with the Super Ferry, which may be up and running and inter-island air travel you could ply the whole state with your craft.Christopher C.
