 This is a Century Plant that has been growing for 20 plus years and has not yet bloomed. You usually see them in the desert Southwest, but there are a surprising number in Colorado. I've been growing this one since it was tiny. It's sibling bloomed 2 years ago and was huge.

The system won't let me enter July 21st, the actual date I took this so I put in 7/20. 7/21 is legal per the rules.

This reminds me of the work of a wonderful DPC member who passed away many years ago sherpet. I don't know how long you have been here, whether you remember her or not.
