| This agave plant at the Botanical Gardens showed signs of its one and only blooming cycle a few months ago. It has now grown through the roof (the management opened up a roof panel) and is in bloom. After it blooms, it dies -- but leaves clones called pups as its survivors. |

Wow that is a big Century Plant. There are some in my neighborhood and I enjoy them. They are an interesting plant.
It's been at the botanical garden for 8o years -- almost a century!
A long time ago, my photographer friends and I used to make regular trips to Matthei. I haven't been in ages. This plant is spectacular!
