Anyone know what this flower is ? Tactus or something ?

It's in the area around Machu Picchu, Peru.



I presume the flower isn't part of the tree ?!

Looks like some type of Bromeliad to me? Nice photo too. Cheers Wendy

Could be a Bromeliad but cannot be sure from the picture.
There are other rosulate plants besides Bromeliads in Peru.

Hi. It seems to belong to Bromelia family. The picture is beautiful in terms
of frame and color but doesn´t help to identify more accurately the plant..

Wendy, I don't own a single Bromeliad but this plant has all red leaves.
The Bromeliads I have seen grew several leaves in some shade of green
then produced the colorful leaves when they approached blooming.
I don't have a better idea so maybe it is just a Bromeliad.

Maybe the tree has gotten a woody?
What do you think about that?
