Century Plant Abloom: FOTD Oct 17, 2021

My Century Plant is an Agave Americana. It blooms every 10 to 20 years and then dies, but sends off offshoots which grow into new plants. In this case, it created two, each of which is now blooming at the same time. I think this plant  and its offshoots have bloomed more than twice in the 20 years I’ve been here but I may be wrong. I do remember it blooming at least once before. The blooms are about 8 inches in diameter and the honeybees and wasps love them!
