It is not Bromiliad, Have you looked into Fuchia? This is a toughie for me.

Thanks alicelongmartin - I'm interested to find out what this plant is. I've uploaded another photo of the plant at your recommendation which should be more helpful.

My guess is Bromiliad flowers. It would be helpful to see more of the plant.
