The Utah Agave (Agave utahensis) spends most of its life as a rosette base of fleshy leaves, with spines along their sides--a quintessential icon of the Southwest. After several years, sometimes decades, they finally bloom (hence the origin of the common name for the genus, the "century plant"). The Utah Agave is monocarpic, meaning it dies after only flowering once. So take a "Minute Out In It" to watch a gathering of Carpenter bees rejoice in this impressive agave's one and only time to shine!
