Another century plant

I had posted about century plants blooming in our community a couple of months ago (https://journeyinamazinggrace.blogspot.com/2026/02/century-plants-about-to-bloom.html) -- one sent up a flower stalk a few weeks ago on the block where our RV lot is located...

Since this one is right in front of our friends' house, you can possibly better see how tall that flower stalk is -- probably 20' tall (it extends up into the fronds of the coconut tree). Doc (the owner of the house) said that it grew in about 4-5 days.

This stalk is much later than the others to appear -- the blooms have not yet fully appeared. On the ones that I posted pictures of earlier, the stalks have bloomed and died and the host plants are dying, but there are "pup" plants in the same area of ground.
