This Maguey has serrated leaves that I have found by experience can be dangerous, but they are so beautiful, that I keep them around anyway. And no, I never remember to wear gloves and sleeves when I work around them., and have the scars to prove it. They do flower, but not at the moment.
Century’s End
Flowers way past their prime have a charm all their own. These tenacious ladies seem to be clinging to the stalk for as long as possible, just like some of us intend to do!!!
(The century plant blooms once–for a very long time–and then dies, but another plant always springs up in its place.)
