Update: The bromeliad is called Vriesea regina.
I don't know the scientific name of this bromeliad, but I will find out. Its flower is clearly magnificent! It grows as tall as a small tree and is very fragrant.

Portea petropolitana is from South America and belongs to the Bromeliaceae family. This particular specimen grows by the acquatic plant pond next to the gallery. Take a good look next time you're outdoors; currently, many bromeliads are in bloom all over South Florida.
