Looks like some Agave<\/i> plant to me.<\/p>\n
\n

Agave chiapensis <\/i>???<\/span><\/p>\n
A medium sized species of Agave. <\/i>Pinkish flowers ?<\/p>\n
\n

<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Looks like Agave Chiapensis<\/i> but as per wikipedia, the flower spike in A Chiapensis<\/i> is 2 metres tall. We will have to look further.

\n

Chances of Aechmea<\/i> mexicana<\/i> Baker are higher because of inflorescence and kind of leaf serrations.<\/p>\n
