Agave americana


Agave americana  (Agave americana (Century plant))

This agave flower spike is leaning at my neighbor’s house. It popped up in March. This agave grows wild on the sides of the mesas here. Photo Dec. 1, 2023.

That flower stem is tremendous! 😲

My daughter gave me a potful of Aloe Vera last Saturday!

That’s the common size for the flower spikes, 30 to 35 ft tall (10 to 12m).
