The Spectacular Bloom of Agave - Agave plants bloom just once in their lifetime, sending up a towering flower stalk after years—sometimes decades—of growth! This rare bloom not only captivates but also provides vital nectar for bees, bats, and hummingbirds. Once the flowering ends, the agave’s life cycle completes, but new “pups” sprout at its base, continuing its legacy.
Next time you see an agave in bloom, pause and appreciate this fleeting desert marvel!
It’s that time of year! With cooler days and clear skies, there’s no better time to explore the Arboretum’s trails and gardens. Come breathe in the fresh air and enjoy nature’s beauty.
