Some Puyas to be identified.

Please be patient, it has a lot of detail.

There are eight pictures of Puyas, seven of an unknown and one of what I believe to be Laxa.

The flower was a typical very dark blue, almost black!
This picture is a habit picture.

And here is a closeup of the base of the plant.
Here's the infructescence.
This are the scape bracts.
And here is a cloeup of the seed pods.
Here are some leaf attachments.
This is a picture of the leaf spines.
This is what I believe to be Laxa.

My bloomed out Puya spathacea is visible to the lower right.
