This Agave Attenuata, aka Fox Tail Agave or Century Plant has bloomed.
They only bloom once in their lives then they die. This is after about 10 to 20 years of growth.
This one is about 8ft tall and at least 10ft long.

I always feel bad when I see them bloom, knowing that that's the end. Gorgeous details in this photo! Hopefully you'll get pups for a new one. V

A beautiful image with great light, details and colors. Your POV makes it look like a golden arch in the deep blue sky. Interesting information too...BV.
