We have this beautiful variegated Agave sisalana at the Botanical Garden where I work, and it is currently forming this magnificent bloom spike. It stands at around 10 ft tall today and is still growing.
I know mature Agave plants will do this, but when I looked closer I noticed something very odd: one of the pups is also growing a bloom spike! Has anyone else ever seen this?
The pup is growing under this rock and the spike is coming up behind it. About ten inches tall right now.
