Flower of Agave attenuate ( Fox-tail agave)

Wow !

Trratoonie took the word right out of my mouth, WoW!

Well , that's amazing .
How big is it ?

On the thumbnail I thought it was a swan !

Thanks all for your comments . I would say that it is between 8-9ft at he highest point.(estimate only) I will have to stand my 6+ ft hubby beside it and make a picture. Bees really love it.

Looks like a swans neck and head... :))

It took me right back to my last Tenerife holiday instantly! I'll be there again before long! Yippee!

It looks like a swan neck at this stage and angle,does not it?

Karen, hope you will have a wonderful holiday at Tenerife. You deserve it. You went through a lot in the past few months. It is always good to break a habit for while and come back with a newfound energy. Take care.

Thanks K. We're going right after New Year.

Looks like a large swan.

It certainly does :-)

Klahanie:

This is an extremely common Agave which grows wild here. Did you know all along the the flowers there will be hundreds of new plantlets?

Yes Delonix, this one has dozens of them all over the stem and at the base. They really want to survive do not they?

Yes, they sure want to survive. This is also my favorite Agave because the tips of the leaves are soft and like rubber.

Thank you Bik.
