I finally cut the flower head off of this plant as its past its prime. Something came along in the night and had a go at extracting some seeds from it. I love that the plants on my rooftop attract birds and insects and provide some sort of environment for them

Aechmea bromeliifolia albobracteata "Oscar"
Thanks to Peter Tristram and Mark Paul for identifying this Bromeliad. I can wait till it flowers. When I bought it , the leaves were very yellow and it had a bulbous blue flower. It looked like an ear of corn. Very sharp spikes on the edges of the leaves. Seems to be doing ok in the winter sun but may have to move it to a semi shaded spot as it heats up
