    EDIT: Upon further research it appears to be a "Tillandsia" varient of Bromeliad from South America (well over 2000 different species of Bromelaids) and it's an air plant, so it doesn't really need that box of dirt at the bottom :D

    I remember seeing it in Costa Rica. It grows like bromeliads wildly on tree trunks. It doesn't need the dirt if grows wild in its native environment, otherwise it needs dirt.

    I thought it was an epiphyte, but the dirt in the box misled me.

    Tillandsia cyanaea or Pink Quill.
