- Agave Fox tail Century plant in full bloom. This plant only blooms once every thirty years. This video was taken over a 6 month period while this awesome plant bloomed in the end it died but was wonderful while it bloomed. "When the flower blooms the bees come uninvited" Agave attenuata is a species of agave sometimes known as the lion's tail, swan's neck, or foxtail for its development of a curved inflorescence, unusual among agaves. Native to the plateau of the State of Jalisco in central Mexico, as one of the unarmed agaves, it is popular as an ornamental plant in gardens in many other places with subtropical and warm climates.
I'm writing a poem about a century plant, and this video was incredibly useful. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it this only happens once in 30 years so it’s very unique thanks for watching
2 in my folks yard bloomed abouy 3 months ago and are still bloomed. They have/had never bloomed in the entire time we have had the house wich is since 1989 (25 years now). which makes this really cool. Gonna take pics with my kids so they can show their kids. Its an awesome natural experinence. Im gonna do a daily pic at 5pm until it dies methinks.
Yes, these bloom like once every 30 years so it’s like a once in a lifetime experience
Your video was most interesting as I have witnessed in my garden also totally mesmerising 7this nature at its greatest.
I know usually these blooms are in a once in a lifetime event it so if you get to see them, it is quite a privilege. Thanks for watching.
“Damn you! You murderer” 😂 I’m so sorry for your loss lol
It did last a long time but like everything And it’s time it Hass to go
I have about 20 agaves and all are babies from my original plant I bought 15 years ago that flowered. I didn’t even know that it was that old the original plant now I can watch for the next ones to come!
It’s crazy but it only does it like every 15 years or maybe longer enjoy your plant
Omg I have one in my backyard now didn’t know it happens once in a lifetime, I am going to be sad when the plant is gone, but the flower is beautiful and bees all over
I was amazing grew over a period of 6 months
Same here...
Mine is just starting to bloom out! Can’t wait to video it too!
Awesome enjoy its only once every 20 to 30 years!
It is most beautiful plant on earth
Yes it is thanks for watching
What a rarest bloom
Yes once in 20 years!
I love your pool area! Where are you located (state)? Wonder if I could keep some of these alive by my pool in FL.
Beautiful. Great video😊
Thanks this was a very unique experience for sure
If you cut it off the flower after flowering you will get lots of new babies on the stem or stork of the plant which you can pick off and replant before the base dies off
Excellent tips thanks for the information and thanks for watching
The one on my roof top terrace is flowering; should I cut the stem off then? Great tip! And what about the seeds? All I'm getting are very meagre versions of the flower; I dont seem to be able to identify seed pods or seeds... any info welcome... I really loved my huge agave! / writing from Argentina/no info here)
@@veronicarubens1547 wait for flowering to finish, there will be thousands of seeds on the stem after you cut it. Can replant. Mine is also almost ready for this.
I just moved into our rental which isn't more than 5 years old. We have one of these and a coupe months ago, the blooming began. I'm not a plant guy so I had no clue about it, but was concerned that the plant looked like it was dying. I now appreciate it a lot more knowing how long it takes to flower. The pedestal is maybe twice at long than this in the video, it's almost touching the ground. It say maybe 3.5m long or more
Congratulations you only see this once every 20 or so years crazy isn’t it?
Your wife just walked away with thousands of seeds! What did she do with the stem?
Oh no only happens once in 30 years
My agave Americana 3 yrs in a pot produced a huge flower stem and then the entire plant died. I’m curious if your plant also died afterwards.
The pups live but that stem will wither and die
Yep, the plant is monocarpic which means it always dies after flowering. It will have offshoots that continue to live though
Is this in Del Mar cali?
California??
Florida
I wonder what the spiritual significance of this is in to native cultures
It must have some significance because of the long time for the Bloom
You can roast and eat.it before bloom
Interesting I did not know that you could eat it
this is so sad. i love my agave ang now its going to die :(
The pups will live on but the tail will wither over time
RIP
Sad when it goes took 20 years for it to come
