Thanks for all the responses. I thought I would contact the estates to see if they knew - I was forwarded to the landscaper and they confirmed it is a Bromeliad vriesea 'Seeger' - which is named after the singer Pete Seeger!

They are copious reseeders and form tuberous roots that overwinter here in zone 9.

You need a cutting or better yet, a division of it so you have roots ready to go. I got a division from my parents 30+ years ago (my grandmother's funeral) and I still have it today in a very small pot so it is constrained to grow and do as well as it can. Here is what mine came from. What mine looked like five years ago (I don't take many pictures of it after a few years). In tropical areas and planted in the ground, they become very large. Or even in a greenhouse in the ground. This next one is at a florist shop in metro Atlanta. They seem to be a landscaping plant in Florida, southern Texas, etc.

Bill, right after the holidays, these big box stores discount all their holiday plants that most people probably buy for temporary decoration and then throw out. But I can't resist saving them, so I will look for different colors; red, pink, magenta, white. They are really easy. I also keep an eye out for evergreens that they seem to sell as temporary decorations and are ready to give away after the holidays. (I've purchased nice sized laurels, holly bushes, Osmanthus, etc. that end up in the yard..) Regarding the holiday cacti, I hang mine in a strand of Eastern Hemlocks along with other epiphytes (ferns, bromeliads, etc). I leave them out from April through October and this year, they would have sailed through November so far. BTW, if you do leave them out, I learned two years ago can they are readily eaten by DEER, so, I started hanging them higher in the trees, LOL. I did put them recently into my garage/greenhouse (and we get a lot of winter sun). All are covered in buds. Not sure if it's the cooler temps for longer nights, or both, but it always works.
