It was given to me by a friend of Kristy's who is using my western saddle till she gets one of her own. This is a thank you, but Kristy couldn't remember the name of it, and the lady told her to tell me once it is done blooming to trash it. I thought maybe if I could find out what kind it is, I might be able to do something other then trash it when it's done blooming.

It looks like one of these...
Tropical Blooming Bromeliad Plant
One of the most striking features of tropical and subtropical forests is the abundance of colorful Bromeliads found growing on tree trunks and branches. We offer a Bromeliad that will similarly brighten any home or office. Perfect and its glowing bloom will last for months. The pot has a 5" diameter, and the Bromeliad stands between 10" and 12" tall. * Note that delivery area may be limited and a seasonal substitution could be used.
I think Hair is right, and I wouldn't trash it. Put it in the bathroom, it will like the humidity I think.
Yeah, it's definately a bromiliad. I've had them before and the lady is pretty much right about trashing them when the bloom falls off. I've never had one bloom again. They're almost as bad as poinsettias or amaryllis is that regard.
