It's going to take forever

Before this Century Plant near my friend Patty's house blooms!!

I've been taking a photo of it every day on my morning walk. The bloom stem must be twenty feet high by now! It still hasn't bloomed.

Everything seems to take longer than you expect.

Do you think it will bloom while I'm in the hospital this weekend? Or wait till I get back home?

I'm still waiting for blooms from my mountain laurel project, Aunt Snow.

I can't remember when I planted the first ones in front of the house in West Virginia, but I think it was back in the 90s.

(It took a year or three to learn that without a fence around them, Bambi would eat them into a terminal state.)
