May 26, 2026 update:
The Century plant in the 200 block of Fort King George drive is developing its flower clusters nicely. Thanks to Arlene Young, Darien City employee, for this shot too as we are able to zoom in and show you the detail of the flower clusters. 💚

Update: For those who've been watching the progress of our Century Plant (agave Americana) in the median on Fort King George Drive, there hasn't been much upward growth of the main stalk, BUT there is a second stalk emerging on the west side of the plant!
This is extremely RARE! 💚
For those who are new, please check out our previous post of May 6th.

A Century Plant (agave americana) is starting to show off in the median on Fort King George Drive in front of Oaks on the River - Luxury Boutique Resort. These plants bloom once in their lifetime, sending a 30+ foot asparagus-like stalk into the sky, usually when the plant is 10-30 years old. This stalk will eventually flower and the main plant will die but will leave offsets or "pups" to live on.
