From a distance it looks a little like our own Australian Xanthorrhoea - on steroids. Perhaps it's a distant relative?

Raymo's Plant Photo:http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/a...e.php?a=216607

I don't believe it...

It seems to be a "Puya Raimondii"

It seems that Raymo has his very own Peruvian plant.....

Just what WAS he doing in South America - a modern day Conquistador???

I knew what it was called, but I'm just naturally modest.
Didn't want to seem self important or something.

Incidentally, if it is a relative of Xanthorroea, then by definition it must
be a distant one, its about 12,000 clicks from here.

First one deliberately over sharpened to highlight its defences.

Lovely church in Santiago, Chile.

Unknown type of flower.
