Giant Puya flowering in Valpo
Around the seashore cliffs along Av. España & Altamirano as well as in many slopes in the surrounding dry hills grows this big native plant Puya chilensis, who knows why, it grows tall yellow inflorecences reaching the higher tree dimension up to 8-10 meters.... I sight not to be missed while in Valpo this summer.
