Thanks Gonz,
i think that's it. there is also 1 similar on Bird Rock that is Strep x Bulbosa but it has some twisted leave and the 1's i have all the leaves just flare up & out and i have around 20 of these plants.

It's actually one of my favorite Tillandsias. It is much easier to grow than straight T. bulbosa. Your clump is a fine example.
