I love the colors on the flower of the flowering one below.  I don't recall it's name, but it is relatively common.

Billbergia.

Not mine,  but find growing wild on Volcan Izalco in El Salvador. Possibly a tilsandia?

Not a Tillandsia but still a bromeliad; Pitcairnia heterophylla

One of my  favorites is Neo. 'Pemiento'.

[Hillizard]

Here are my newly-germinated Pitcairnia ringens seedlings that just sprouted from tiny seeds. This is a terrestrial Bromeliad from Mexico that produces bright red flower spikes from spring through fall. With a bit of effort I should get a few to grow to flowering size.

I got the seed via eBay. More about this species here (with comments from Stone Jaguar): http://www.agaveville.org/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=5886
