verdantdesert is requesting Puya alpestris or berteroniana Plant

Binomial nomenclature	Puya alpestris or berteroniana
Date of request	Apr 28, 2009 at 9:24am

Description
I am looking for both the teal-blue and the electric blue forms. One common name I know is Sapphire Tower. I'd also like any terrestrial bromeliad tolerant of extreme growing conditions, including desert and cold. It should tolerate 9- 12 inch of rain, scorching heat to 115 F and rare lows of 30 F (I can protect on these occasions). Other plants: rare cacti, Echium?, unusual aloes and agaves, succulents. I have a rabbit problem so plants that are rabbit resistant are appreciated. Thanks from a desert collector with 1 acre to fill with splendor.
