Thanks to Tim Waters for correctly identifying this one as a
Bromeliad/Guzmania AKA "Lava Plant":

It grows in New York City beside the Bryant Park library and loves hot humid
summers.

I'm pretty sure this is a top view looking down into the "vase" of a
bromeliad. The showy red parts are merely colored bracts or leaves. The
true flowers will either be borne down in the center or on a long stalk
stuck out of the center.

This second with large leaves we call "Adam", and cause we have here
continental climat we keep it in pots and during winter remains in house.
Very easy plant, no special needs, sometimes makes flowers, which has also
specific scent. It can have a very large leaves which can be gorgious, lower
leaves which lose it's beauty freely cut, cause new and nicer are coming
from center

Oh come on, dude.

Try making a modicum of effort on your own.

You can find them yourself in any "houseplant" book, you lazy fool. They are
neither rare nor difficult to ID.
