just a little show-off, if you guys don't mind

But since last week I have a Mezobromelia capituligera in bloom,
it is the very first time i see an plant of this genus blooming.
Unfortunately the light conditions for taking pictures where pretty bad
that day, but I hope you can imagine the size and beauty of it.
The inflorescence itself is over 80cm tall above the cistern.

Right along with these images a little question:
Does anybody cultivate this genus ?
Does it pup well ? So far its got nothing.
Have a happy weekend !
