Air Plant????

I was so surprised when my air plant? produced this flower -
First the large pink “flower” came out and then around each edge a purple flower appeared. As each purple one died another came out further along!!
I was so amazed – I’ve had this plant for about 10 years and this is the first time its done this – can anyone tell me what it is?? and is it really an air plant – it gets misted about once a month…

I believe it's a type of bromeliad. Perhaps someone will name it.
I also think it dies after flowering. ( sorry about that )

Very interesting and beautiful plant...It's Tillandsia cyanea. From the Bromeliad family...Hywel, you are right...
