    Hi all, can you help me identity this plant? I tried to look it up myself and I think it resembles an agave, but I'm not sure which species. It's possible to be another family.It has distinctive purple coloring in the base and little thorns.
    Here is an image, and thank you for your help.

    It's a bromeliad (or pineapple relative) -- most likely a Neoregelia.
