Plant: Puya Coerulea var Violacea 紫花蔚藍龍舌鳳梨

I came across another Puya — Puya coerulea var. violacea — at the Huntington Library. It’s a terrestrial bromeliad native to Chile’s Mediterranean region. In spring, it sends up tall, scarlet-branched stalks topped with dark purple flowers and bright yellow stamens.
