You may already be familiar with Tillandsia micans, but you don't see this one around often! As you may guess by the name this is a smaller micans-like plant. It grows caulescently with a gray leaf that blushes a mauve color in strong light. The bloom isn't very vibrant; the colors of the bract are muted but the magenta flower certainly pops
