Five years in the making

This plant is a Puya mirabilis I purchased one seed off e-bay 5 yrs ago it came as a tiny spec in a plastic tube it was so small I didn't know if I had planted it,here it is flowering for the first time.

 

Fantastic, Sensei, absolutely fantastic. :gnthb: Well done.:gnthb:

 

Wow it's beautiful =] I'm so envious. These type's of plants have really grown on me since visiting Tresco:luv::luv:

 

Well, well done you divine nut and if anyone could do it you could ... I don't know this but what a spectacular creature it is ... I'm proud to have you as a friend with all your achievements ... :luv:

 

Well done, stunning.

 

Brilliant Walnut :gnthb:

I guess my Puya (one of your pups) is a few years behind yours.

My Fasicularia is showing colour at last and should flower this year.

Power to the Bromeliads.

 

Thank you all for your kind words:o my lady I will have to go out and buy a new hat :luv:
Strongy not sure which Puya pup you had could it have been Chilensis (the really vicious one) I have 2 of these and was hoping they would flower this year but I doubt it now,hope your Fascicularia makes flower it should be something special.:thumb:

 

Chilensis, the extremely vicious one.
It has pups of it's own but it won't let me near it without shredding flesh.:D

 

Wow it's big and great! [FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=-1]Puya mirabilis does best in full sun to light shade with a well drained soil mix and it grow well too in a temperature below zero. Nice choice! :yho:
