We think it's an agave, but it's never done this before… All of this new growth is from just the past few weeks. Should we do anything?

    No, it will need funeral arrangements though.

    That agave is going to flower which is a sign it’s at its end of life.

  2. It’s the last gasp, the final chance to spread its seed. Celebrate the wonder that is the death bloom and consider what will take its place…. If you oh take out all its babies.

  3. document the whole thing. incredibly rare to see!

    Keep us updated on the bloom!! And rip to your agave friend! Though, she’ll live on through the babies she’ll give you!

    Not sure where you’re located, but this agave will make polinator bats very happy if you have them in your location.

    Please do nothing! It’s part of the plant’s life and flowers are important for pollinators!

  9. Congratulations, your plant is going to die! But in a good way.

  10. No, it needs a woman, and it is going to find one, NOW.
