Have a great agave in bloom (they are generically called century plants because of how long it takes many varities to bloom) but I'm not sure of this one's exact variety. I do know it is very well-travelled. I bought it in about 1990 from Yucaa Doo Nursery northwest of Houston. So it came to Oklahoma by mail and then was planted in the backyard in Norman. Around 1996 I moved it to Tucson in a pot. Then in early 1999 it was planted in a spot in our courtyard, where it is now blooming. The stalk is about 22 feet tall by my estimate. As with most agave, this is its grand finale, and it will gradually die as the summer progresses.
