Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We received this as the rare species B. wrightii which hails from high altitude cliffs in central Mexico with red stems bearing greenish to pale yellow tubular flowers. Being a distrustful old fart, I've not seen it bloom so can't say for sure but it is different from other Beschorneria we've grown.
