One Last Grasp At The Sky

We have another century plant on our property coming to the end of its life after being on our property for almost 40 years. 

Just like the last one a few years ago in our front yard, the center stalk sprouted up suddenly.  I know it's not possible for it to grow twenty feet overnight, but that's what it seemed like.  Magically, this big asparagus-like spear was just there.

Once the stalk flowers, the entire plant will die.  And this plant, which has been on our property for decades, will be gone.
