Wow! Very cool looking plant!! :) I don't know what kind of plants are in your area of the world but this looks to me like something that might be in the Matalea genus. Maybe you should check it out to see if anything looks right to you?

Hello Gilma Jeannette Ospino Ferreira-Norman. Apparently so is a kind of sheath. Greetings.

It is so interesting, is it a vine? I suppose those are flowers? hope you get an ID, Carlos Mancilla.
