I am afraid I cannot help you.  I myself lost the plant in 1989 when I moved 
from Los Angeles to northern New Mexico.  I obtained the plant from an 
elderly gentleman who did volunteer work at the Cal State Fullerton 
Arboretum; he was one of the "Old hands" when it came to growing bromeliads 
in the L.A. area but he never published anything.  I cannot remember his 
name, though I think his first name was Bob.   When I told him I was moving 
to New Mexico, he informed me that his doctor had given him six months to 
live, so I doubt he is still around.  I don't know where he got his stock or 
who IDed it.

I am posting this on the lists in hopes that someone will know who this 
grower was;  I remember him as having red hair, and missing one finger.
