A pair of old boys.

Drove by a house today that has a pair of majestic century plants going into bloom, one on either side of their driveway.

They say these agaves bloom, and then die, after 100 years.  Google sez it takes more like 20-40 years.  Either way, it’s a sight to see.

Both of these must have been planted when the home was first built about 35 years ago.
