A New Agave Bloom

 

When I was at the garden on Sunday, I saw a new agave bloom.  New to me, that is.  I don't think I've ever seen one quite like this before.  As you can see, the bees were loving it.

This is the whole plant.  It's a narrow leaf agave.  That big, tall bloom stalk is growing out of the center of those very narrow, spiky leaves at the very bottom of the photo.  

Another one of natures miracles.
