Puya

Filed under: Puya berteroniana — wilma @ 10:00 pm

In the homestead garden is a very strange plant flowering. It looks almost a bit plastic, but it is real. It is family of Bromelia. This one here is Puya berteroniana.
The whole Puya family is native to Central and South America. There are more than 200 species in the Puya family.
