I believe that's Tillandsia ionatha. I have one that's currently pupping out . . . however, mine didn't flower up nearly as red as yours. There's also a variety of this one that flowers blue and has blue tips on the spines when flowering. I've only seen it offered for sale once, and it was a little more pricey than I wanted to pay for a Tillandsia (not to mention the extra shipping). I think I'm going to pick up some more as "filler" on my background . . . I think my bulbs are a bit too bright for my ficus pumila. The leaves look a little washed out and it isn't growing very quickly (uncharacteristic of this particular plant) . . . I was hoping it would make a nice green backdrop and cover my coco-mat background. Geez, I'm really rambling. Tillandsia ionatha. That's all I needed to say.
