My family and I saw this Agave (Century plant) starting to pop up on April 30th. My husband decided to take a picture every day while it was going through the growth spurt through the blooming. The growth was very obvious on a daily basis. It was amazing to see growth of 5 to 11 inches on a daily basis. Once the Century Plant got about 10 feet tall it became more challenging to measure. We put a ploe you use for painting and got an approximate measurement then we laid the pole on the ground and used a tape measure to get the actual measurement.
We were very excited to see process take place. However we didn't fully realize how the rest of nature would be impacted by this new edition to the backyard. The birds started using the branches to perch and when the blooming started, beside the bugs and bees going into the blooms, the birds were feeding as well.
We usually see 1 or 2 humming birds and we have over 6 here now. Also a couple of Orioles are visiting us on a daily basis. In the past, we have rarely seen Orioles. What a beautiful bird!
As you look at the sequence of pictures, watch the Red Agave in the foreground start to sprout into the pictures.
