Showtime!
Dozens of Agave parryi in bloom in the wilds of central Arizona. It was really quite a show! More at Showtime at Parryi Mesa
Agave
"American aloe plant," 1797, from Greek Agaue, proper name in mythology (mother of Pentheus), from agauos "noble," perhaps from agasthai "wonder at".

Re: Showtime!
Nice to see! I like the inflorescence on that species more than a lot of Agaves. Our closest local native equivalent, Hesperoyucca whipplei (which acts more like an Agave than a Yucca) is doing its thing right now around LA.
I'm now selling plants on Ebay. Check it out! Kyle's Plants

Re: Showtime!
I'm with you on A. parryi, there are very few Agaves that can hold a candle to their blooms. And yup, H. whipplei also puts on a very nice show!
