Having bloomed, these two "mother" century plants now are slowly dying. There are many offspring around their bases. Note how tall the bloom stalks are. I am not stooping down and pointing upward with the camera. I am standing some distance back to take the photos.(San Antonio, Tx.)

Wow! This is one of the most menacing Agaves I've ever seen. I can only imagine what it would look like at its full size of 10 feet tall and 10 feet wide!
