Agave flowers

This is the same Agave inflorescence on Orange Coast College's campus that Greg and I took pictures of back in early March. This gallery's pictures are from approximately a month later (in early April), when it was starting to fully bloom. It was stunning in the early morning light, when the just-risen sun lit the flowers head-on.

This Agave flower is just starting to open, its filaments still bent downwards, as they were during development. This shot also shows how the sepals and petals both combine to form the protective case the flower develops in.
