AGATHA THE AGAVE INSPIRES ME!

The biggest agave bloom I have ever seen has sprouted in my yard. I named it Agatha.

 This was about 3 weeks ago. 











Below is today.
 It is growing about 3 inches per day, everyday.

 There is a large bud on the very top that will open soon. Tomorrow? 





I'm concerned that the stalk might blow or fall over so, with help, I put a safety line on it. 

 I have started preparation drawings for a painting of this phenomenon.
