Cor, that's a good pineapple 😎 I take it that comes from an island in the Pacific 😎 I've got one called a Puya chilensis, not made any offsets yet but apparently they eat sheep when they get big enough 😬😬🌾🌾

They're from the cloud forests of central America. It's rare to see this one available and I'm keeping my 🤞 for keeping it alive! Thanks for watching Ziggy! 😎👍

@@ZiggySearchfieldCactus Well Pitcairnias are very similar to Puyas. Pitcairnia feliciana is famous for being the only bromeliad native to Africa.
