    Anyone know what this is?

    I was told it was called a pineapple plant, because it looks like a pinepple top, but googling for pineapple plant just returns actual pineapples (which this isn’t, of course).

    I don’t have pics of the plant itself.. looks like some kind of yucca though although there’s no ‘trunk’. Just a load of sharp tough leaves coming out of the ground.

    Leaves remind me more of something out of of the lily family and the flowers are somewhat similar to a day lily.

    I think it was grown from a cutting IIRC.

    Does it ask to be fed?

    Columnea linearis?

    Edit: doesn’t look quite right on closer inspection

    Looks like Billbergia nutans to me, also known as queen’s tears or friendship plant because it is easy to propagate and give to friends. A type of bromeliad.

    Nice one, thanks 🙂 I was given a cutting by a friend so that’s appropriate 🙂

    Get @flowerpower on here the forum name is no coincidence. But I’ll laugh my tits off if she can’t name it…

    Try googling ‘Billbergia Nutans’ and look at the images.

    Is a form of bromiliad.

    Then please let Surrounedbyhills know if he’s at risk of losing his tits 8)

    EDIT – just read whole post, well and truly beaten to it 😳
