    A neoregelia, but I can't find exactly which one. All the photos I can find don't look quite like mine. The reddish colour seems to be in random areas, not all in the centre and scattered on the leaves. That could be my fault, as they don't get much attention.

    Hi again ,I am pretty sure this one is called neo 'fireball',same cultivation as previous one, the colours will be better in higher light but not full sun, it will burn.Usually the prickly ones can handle full sun,bromeliads are the pineapple family and pineapples grow in full sun,and they certainly are prickly!
    I dont have a photo of mine right now.
