Mystery Plant with Iris-Like Leaves and Pink Stalk: Need Photo

Description suggests a bromeliad or similar, but identification requires a photo. All houseplants need light; water when dry. Use balanced fertilizer biweekly until identified. If cactus-like, fertilize only in winter and allow longer dry periods. Send a picture for accurate ID and care instructions.
