Life Cycle

A pretty picture that might have been called "Neighborhood 3" presents a life-cycle timeline of the blossoms of the Century Plant (Agave palmeri). If you view the stalk at full resolution starting at the top and panning downward, you can see (1) reddish blossoms, (2) blossoms with pollen bearing stems and bees buzzing around, (3) spent blossoms, and (4) clusters of broken off blossoms.

 

The plant's two-month spiking event is fully documented in my Emergence album.
