    Hello can anyone help me identify this plant. I live in the UK and bought this plant at a fair, it was misslabled so I have no idea what it is. Weather it is a house plant or one that should be planted outdoors, how to care for it, feed it, water it and so on. I have a fairly large garden with trees, shady and sunny spots etc. as well as a conseratory, so have a variety of conditions I could keep it in.

    Thank you in advance

    Regards Linda

    Probably Billbergia nutans.

    Thank you Rob and Liz, Mystery solved. It looks exactly like the one pictured on this website. I found this link at first when Rob said it was a Billbergia nutans and the pic was not so good so I was doubtful at first, but the pic on the link Liz supplied confirms it, that is my plant.

    Thank you both so much

    Regards Linda
