I heard that these only flower once in a lifetime. Is that true? I have the
Aechmea fasiata. When it was first purchased, it had a big pink stalk coming
out of the center. I was hoping to get another.

Yes, it's true. BUT...
Over the next year or two it will produce one, two or three shoots from
the base. Each of these will grow into a plant that will flower for
you.
The original plant will gradually die. But by the time it is dead, you
will have plant(s) that have replaced it.
Aechmea fasciata is truly eye-catching when in flower. Even when it
doesn't have a flower, it is a beautiful plant. Grow it for its sheer
beauty. Count the flowers as an extra special bonus.

Thanks for the info, Alex.
I have two shoots already and have been very excited about them.
