Bromeliad

Has anyone grown one of these? My flower is dying, and I read that when the flower dies, the whole plant goes with it. Is this true? Actually, I am not sure if my flower is dying... it is loosing its color, and just looks BLAH. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

The flower could be dying and I believe the mother plant will eventually give up the ghost... however, a new baby or babies should come up from the roots. Keep an eye on it and watch for baby sprouts.

Just leave it planted, it should send up several "pups".
