Name that plant

Plant was given from a florist at a funeral. What is it and can it be planted outside in North Atlanta area?

Looks like some kind of bromeliad, maybe Guzmania. If so, it is definitely an indoor-only plant. A brief discussion of Guzmania is a little more than halfway through this article: http://davesgarden.com/guides/articles/view/1648/#b Advice on how to care for Guzmania: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/bromeliad/msg0417482224267.html Good luck, it’s pretty!
