Beschorneria
Shown: Habit of mature, flowering plant approx. 1.5 m in height; developing, immature offset at right
"Beschorneria is a genus in the Agavaceae family of approx. 7 species. All species of Beschorneria spread via rhizomes and are said to be polycarpic in the sense that the plant doesn't die after flowering like Agave, but the rosette which has flowered won't grow anymore. It will stay green for some years while the basal suckers will replace it. Often it happens that a new sucker appears almost in the middle of the old rosette to the side of the flower stalk giving the impression it has resumed new growth, but actually it's an axillary bud. The inflorescence carries groups of pendulous tubular flowers under bright green, yellow, red, or purple bracts on a loose raceme." (pacificbulbsociety.org)

After I took this picture, the owner of the carwash came over and asked "What ARE you doing?"
I told him I liked the colors of his vacuums and he drove away, shaking his head.
I had a completely different FDT in mind but then I suddenly noticed my office turning a beautiful colour - which was my cue to simply do a face-down on the table. I like the sunflare over my butt.
I actually took another one that I find more fun but less pretty.
