Agave attenuata

one of the most amazing succulents I have seen. It is flowering for the first time, and is way over two meters tall. Taken with my cell as it grows at a weird angle.

I will post some close ups over the next few days.

wow, that is huge!

[Kathy A]

That sure is one big succulent

[moni kozi]

Ohhh... this is sooooo interesting!

[Merrelyn]

They have huge flower stems. Mine have never flowered but I've been told that the plant dies after flowering.

[Babs]

How beautiful, it reminds me of a dinosaur.

I have hundreds of these, they don't flower often, and then that particular one dies, it is stunning

Impressive.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Amazing - waiting to see it in flower !

Yes they definitely die after flowering which is such a shame. The flowers are quite spectacular.

[George]

Weird indeed.

I missed this original post, and the follow ups. How interesting to see all the detail in your close ups, as well as seeing the progression of the flowering of the plant. Amazing. Thank you for sharing.
