Billbergia pyramidalis
This bromeliad blooms for just a short period each September, but when in flower they're a show-stopping sight. The red stalks are an inflorescence with many small flowers and last only a week or so.
As an epiphyte (air plant), they can be grown in any kind of soil or no soil at all (i.e. in the crook of a tree). Hardy to zone 9b or grown as an indoor plant.
The edges of the leaves of this plant are very sharp - take care when handling.
