Agave neomexicana

New Mexico century plant
Agave neomexicana – New Mexico century plant (also known as Agave parryi ssp. neomexicana – Parry's agave. The H. sapiens in the picture, Ron Wittmann, tells us that some botanists recognize it as a distinct species, whereas others do not). The plant has not bloomed in at least 25 years. The pointy, gray-green leaves at the bottom of the stalk are the agave leaves.
