Is this the largest stalk of asparagus in the world? Click on first photo to enlarge all.

Nah, it’s the great granddaughter of the first century plant I planted here 16 years ago. After it blooms (this is its blooming stalk) it dies and a new one grows up in its place. Sources say it takes 10 to 20 years for it to bloom but I remember at least three blooms since I’ve been here, the last one much more recent than 10 years.
