Agava plants in the front yard make you feel like you are living in Dr. Suess' Whoville. The Agave plants also called Century Plants (because they were falsely thought to live to 100 years), will bloom after 10 to 20 years. The flowering stalk can grow to 35 feet tall and grow and will bloom for three to four months. After the blooming is complete the plant will die and Whoville will sadly vanish back in to fantasy land...
