Agave inflorescence


These are pictures of an agave that has flowered. Agaves bloom once every 7-20 years or so. Thereafter the main plant dies and is succeeded by off shoots or new plants at the flower tips.

Keep your eyes open on the country side as the monsoons slowly start receding. Nature continues to surprise us...
