Hi Lazlo,
it looks rather like a grayish Vriesea than a Tillandsia to me.
I am not too familiar with all those species, but seems to be close to
Vriesea cereicola, hitchcockiana and their associates.
But I am not very good in identification from pics.
Do you have any more information on that plant, any data ?
Greetings Timm

Hi Timm,
here are some new pictures:
Description:
Plant stemless, but the shoots grow on the end of the scaly rhizomes, flowering 60-90 cm long. Leaves numerous in a spreading rosette, 30-35 cm long, covered with slightly spreading, cinereous scales. Sheats broadly ovate, 30-35 mm long, concolorous with blades. Leaf-blades narrowly triangular 25-30 mm wide at the base. Scape erect, 30-40 cm long, the inflorescence simple or subdensely bipinnate, 30-40 cm long. Spikes (2-4) linear, 25-35 cm long, 12-15 mm wide, the sterile base bracteate.
Plant's are found in Peru, between Trujillo and Otuzco,
Regards, Laszlo

I don't think that this is Vriesea espinosae. This is a rather large plant. It is said to originate from Peru. The peruvian Vriesea espinosae, however, are rather small, while the bigger varieties are the ones from Ecuador. Also, Lazlos plant has a thicker scale cover and fleshier leaves than what is typical for Vriesea espinosae. The color of the inflorescense is not typical for that species either. I would second Timm's guess of Vr. hitchcockiana, at least it comes close. Vr. cereicola or Vr. rauhii are certainly "hot" candidates as well. In Ecuador, Vr. andreettae is also similar.
Personally I tend towards Vr. rauhii.
Cheers,
Joachim

Hi friends,
the habitus looks like V./T. espinosae, but the color of the flowes is more a V. hitchcockiana.
Your Plant
V. hitchcockiana
V./T. espinosae had a blue flower,V. andreettae and V. rauhii dark blue, but colors ...
This is`t a simple complex. See the plants from this complex.

Hi Laszlo
I agree with Joachim, it looks like a Vriesea cereicola to me.
The stolons are very significant. Vriesea espinosae is much
smaller. It is an easy grower, the flower is.....not that spectacular
