Furcraea

Almost twenty years ago I picked up a sprouted seed from a sidewalk and put it in a pot.   As it grew and was re-potted many times, I finally planted it in the ground.   This past June a flower stalk emerged.


By July it  had grown to ten feet tall.

And the flower stalk kept growing toward the tops of the trees by the end of July.

In early August, the stalk was beginning to form buds.

By the middle of August the buds were ready to open into

sweet-scented flowers.
