agave flower followup

Here is a small update on the continuing growth of that Agave Flower I told you about....the Missile-Like looking stalk as it has developed so far....The flowers themselves won't be visible for a while yet....the picture above is about 15 days after the original pictures I posted....

And this next one is a closer look at the stalk..... What I love about this close-up is that you can see the tiny beginning of one of the flowers that will be forthcoming...it looks like a baby agave in this picture above....

And then yesterday, here is a far away shot with the garden below and the city in the background, looking south....this flower stalk is growing slowly but surely, every day.... And below, coming in a little bit closer....but looking west this time.... I love those Aloe Flowers in the foreground....such a rich beautiful color...

And one more coming in really close so you can see how the leaves of the stalk kind of wrap around each other...looking truly like an asparagus.... I will be documenting this wonderful flower-to-be as it continues to grow and amaze....it really does look like an asparagus and good enough to eat, don't you think....?

And last but not least, I love this next picture...everything in silouette....the aloes and in front of them, that stately stalk growing peacefully as the sun begins to go down in the west....

More To Come......
