Agave americana

I have developed a great fondness for the noble Agave americana, sometimes known as the Century Plant, also known as maguey in Mexico and American aloe in the United States.




Here is a young plant in the foreground photographed on 29 January 2010.





This is another plant that has shot up its stem as of 3 March 2010.




Finally, this is a plant as of today in full flower.
