Unusual Plant

This plant is growing in a garden across the road from us.
I spied the "flower spear" from or patio & just had to investigate.
I will keep my eye on the spear to get a shot of the flowers.
Does anyone know the name of it ? :)
Great colours and I love all the shapes and textures

Hey Lois, I just posted a shot yesterday of one in my garden. It's an Agave Americana. The flower spear gets huge, like 8-10 foot high. Unfortunately, the main plant will die as the flower grows. But the flower will produce hundreds of pups that fall to the ground and grow in it's parents place.

Wow.... a race to see which plant gets tallest. Great picture.

I can't wait to see the flower, Lois. Nice shot.

It is getting big. A bit dangerous if you fell on it.

Looking forward to seeing the flower pic. We'll be in your country next week but don't expect to see it in person!
