Tillandsia ionanatha
A really nice tilly that will grow in hot, yet humid spots.
Its a real beauty in bloom

Oh yes, off topic indeed. Bromiliaceae not Orchidaceae. Lol

Awesome colors. Is it multiple plants or just how they are. Looks like 3 different segments.

You start out with one, and it grows some daughter plants. I bought this one as one little bunch, similar to one of the red bunches, and every year after it blooms it grows two daughters. So this plant is actually made up of 4-5 bulbs.
