It's That Time For This Big Blue Leviathan To Show Some Architecture

 This old gal is going on it's seventh season and getting ready to put on
a display of it's life.

The more shade my yard gets it can sometime delay and or extend it's
life cycle. This specimen in the past throws up it's florescence/flowering
spike in six seasons.

This old gal is showing it's age, not unlike dog years perhaps.

New spike emerging as shown below.

This picture is showing it's dramatic curve to seek out what light is has
available. Time will tell and it's going to happen fast. The energy stored
to produce this phenomenon is remarkable.
