#agavespike — Public Fediverse posts

The #AgaveSpike that started last April is getting a bit sad at the base now. However it has a cousin that has just started to shoot up its own spike. #Photography #FlowersOfMastodon

Went for a walk with @LaurelCo and got her to pose with the #AgaveSpike on the way, which has almost finished growing. Makes it look even taller.

@Taniwha #AgaveSpike we were away for a few weeks, it’s now at least 25ft high and the side shoots are forming. #SpikyMcSpikeFace2 (we had the first one two years ago) is still getting taller…

@Taniwha #AgaveSpike update, about 18ft tall now. The base leaves ball is over 6ft.

@Taniwha #AgaveSpike today’s status, I think the tip is about 15ft from the ground now.

@Taniwha The base plant is about 6ft by 6ft… here’s a more recent picture of the latest #AgaveSpike. This was a week or so ago.

#AgaveSpike #FlowersOfMastodon two years after the first one, another of our giant agave plants is starting to send up a spike. Ends up like a 30ft tall asparagus with flowers on it…

Our old #AgaveSpike is getting blown around a bit by the California storm and is now leaning over more than yesterday.

#AgaveSpike still up and looking a bit more withered, but the spike is now about 9 months old.

@adrianco
My #AgaveSpike is now 2.5 years old, no noticeable changes lately, but it doesn't seem to be falling over like I was told it would...

Anyone know a good Linux app for turning my dozens of photos into a #timelapse ?

#AgaveSpike is still up, although the base doesn’t look happy at all. Lots of buds dropping from the flower top. We first saw it starting to grow in late April… #FlowersOfMastodon

Update on the #AgaveSpike - birds and bees have moved on, the base is looking yellow and withered. #FlowersOfMastodon

Video where you can hear the bees buzzing. #AgaveSpike

#AgaveSpike #FlowersOfMastodon #Photography more flowers and bees. The base is showing that it has had the juice sucked out of it.

#FlowersOfMastodon #AgaveSpike #Photography the first few layers of flowers have opened and the birds and bees are tucking in.

Three months after the #AgaveSpike started to shoot up the flower buds are almost ready to open. One of the tiny ground spikes has an open flower, and there’s a cup of nectar underneath it. The leaves at the base are starting to look unhealthy, all the water has been sucked out of them, they are wrinkled and yellowing. #FlowersOfMastodon #Photography

Update on the #AgaveSpike - picture taken with early morning light as I was heading out early on Saturday. It’s finished branching but the buds haven’t opened yet. Now about 11 weeks after first sign of the spike. #FlowersOfMastodon #Photography

#AgaveSpike still opening up. Some of the ground shoots are also budding. #FlowersOfMastodon #photography

I am fascinated by these agave spikes.

#BirdsOfMastodon #FlowersOfMastodon The #AgaveSpike flowers now have opened and there’s nectar in there, which has attracted our local hummingbird. It’s still growing a bit…

Update, still putting out its #FlowersOfMastodon shoots, this #AgaveSpike is now about 9 weeks old. #photography

The #AgaveSpike is even taller now, starting to put out #FlowersOfMastodon shoots. Has a few more to go. Hard to get a sense of scale, it’s about 25-30ft tall, higher than the top of the oak tree behind it. Trunk is about 8-10” diameter at the base. It’s coming up on two months since it started spiking.

Just eating my bao and staring at these things, waiting for them to bloom.

The #AgaveSpike is now about 25ft tall, as tall as the oak tree behind it, although it’s hard to see from this perspective. #photography

@exador23 Very cool, also surprising that they can stay up! My own #AgaveSpike has been growing for 5 weeks now and is about 25ft tall and 8-10” diameter. Hasn’t started flowering yet. Still looks like a giant asparagus. The base plant is about 6ft tall, we have lots of them and this is the biggest.

One month after first emerging, the #AgaveSpike is now about 20ft tall. I had to stand further away to get it in shot. It’s almost as tall as the oak tree, and still growing fast. #photography At some point this will sprout a lot of #FlowersOfMastodon

It’s grown quite a lot since the last photo. The #AgaveSpike is about 6” diameter and the top is 10-12 feet high, the pictures make it look smaller…

Still moving up in the world. #photography #AgaveSpike - I’m trying to get exactly the same angle on it each day.
