Nearing the End
f/6.3 – 1/500 sec – ISO 100 – Focal Length 28 mm
The century plant is part of the agave family and is so named because to can take years to flower (although not literally a century). The plant only flowers once in a lifetime and the bloom can grow up to 26 feet on some varieties. After it has bloomed the plant dies. So this particular century plant is nearing the end of its life span.
