A stunning colorful flower, but each only lasts one to two days, the queen's tears.

Thank you all!
It's a little bromeliad I got some years ago from our local botanical garden, so I assume it really is B. nutans. Usually, the big Billbergias for sale are hibrids, xwindtii; three times as big as this little plant (30cm high) which stays neglected 11 month somewhere outside with lots of sun until the pink bracts appear. Always flowers in early winter.
