Daily Postcard: A Century Plant blooms Thursday on Rover Boulevard in White Rock. This one appears to be 14 feet tall. They are toxic when touched. They can create ‘pups’ around the base that can be transplanted elsewhere and sometimes develops ‘bulbis’ on the stock that can be transplanted. One of the most spectacular blooms in the Southwest and the stock can grow 6” to 12” a day before getting ready to bloom. Buzzing with bees! A Century Plant blooms only once in its lifetime.
