Foxtail Agave

 


Two weeks ago I featured some aloe blooms on this blog.  Today I have an agave bloom.  This "flower" is the very tall and very fuzzy bloom of the foxtail agave.  It's a pretty dramatic bloom that attracts lots of bees as well as a few other insects.  Sometimes they stand straight and tall while others, like this one tend to fall over from their own weight.

It looks like the bees are taking good care of it.

My neighbor had one of these bloom in his front yard. Yes, very dramatic indeed!
