Century Plant Bloom Day 12
Watch as this huge bloom comes out of the Agave americana! This plant will send up a shoot 20-30 feet in the air, then it will bloom! Huge antler like projections will sprout from the main stalk. Then yellow flowers will appear. Insects will come from miles around for the sweet nectar. Come along and enjoy this from your home. Videos will be short, just one minute of your time each day to see something really cool happen!
