Century Plant

@jprat001: Thanks for the information! I will put some more information on the description. Unfortunately I did not get any more photos!
@alicelongmartin: Thanks!
@Saarbrigger: That's cool!! How long do they flower?

This plant is so amazing. This type of plant just gets flowers once in their entire lifetime and this only after decades of life.

Interesting!

a lot of agave species have similar looking flower spikes. do you have any pictures of the bottom where the leaves of the plant are?

Thanks! Do you know the species?

this is an agave spike (flowering). after they send up their spike, the agave eventually dies. some agave species (if not pollinated) will revert from their flowers dozens of clones of the mother plant to survive.
