Puya chilensis
28th March 2006
A large growing species from Chile with silvery leaves. My little plant is quite an ancient specimen _
I have had it for 15 years, and it really needs to be fed and watered a bit more to grow to full size
(about 2m)! I really like it,but every now and then it sticks a little needle sharp spine in my hand
and I swear like a trucker who's lost his Yorkie!
