About For those who are unfamiliar with this plant as I was:

Description A tall narrow cluster of flowers grows from a basal rosette of erect, rigid, sharply pointed leaves.
Height: 10' (3 m).
Flowers: tiny, yellow, in 2" (5 cm) clusters at ends of short branches from top of tall stem.
Leaves: 24" (60 cm), pointed, spiny-edged, grayish, in rosette at base of stem.
Flowers: May?July.

Discussion The Century Plant is a member of the agave family (family Agavaceae). Agaves are stout plants with woody stems or stem-bases, often tall, even tree-like, the long and narrow leaves crowded in rosettes at ends of stems or branches, a stout rapidly growing flower stalk arising from the rosette. Century Plants do not take a century to flower, but it may take them several decades to store enough food reserves to supply the rapidly growing stalk and mature the seeds. Then the rosette, often representing the entire plant, dies.
