More Tropic Florida weirdness. This looks like something from the Far Side cartoons to me. I posted a photo of the bud in mid August when this Agave americana started sending up a flower stalk:

Two and one half months later – the flower stalk is over seven feet tall and has these wonderful chartreuse flowers.

I am guessing these are florets? The flowers start out looking like rectangular budded broccoli and then bloom.

I am waiting to see what this plant might do next.
