Puya alpestris

I think this is a special plant to me. If this is the right one, it is the first complete bromeliad plant I ever saw in bloom.
Here is an updated picture showing the developed spike and a bunch more pushing. It looks to me like a small Puya berteroniana.
There are five other spikes starting to push. It should be a sensation in a couple weeks! I've never gotten seeds from my other Puyas, other than P. mirabilis, but I'm an eternal optimist! Maybe this time..........
