We hope you had a wonderful 4th of July, complete with lots of delicious cookout food and exciting fireworks. But fireworks werenโ€™t the only thing bursting with color yesterday โ€” the Rawlings Conservatoryโ€˜s giant blue agave finally bloomed! (You may remember it from our earlier Agave Watch 2013 post.) The flower spike is about 25 feet tall (hence the removal of part of the greenhouseโ€™s roof, in order to let it grow). The Conservatory recommends stopping by this weekend to see the plant at its most extravagant.
