So the male parts mature first and one has to pollinate a lower female bloom Stigma.
Likley that is why it did not work for me. I dusted the same flower with the pollen.
The wind did nothing. So maybe it is not self fertile.
Do they really only live one year?


I have no experience with your particular plant but the "Bloodspot" Mangave that I planted here branched at the apex after it flowered (after many years) and is now growing into a nice multi-headed plant.
