Plants bloom only once in their lives

Waiting to be tired for 28 years, eventually scientists at Bangor University, northern Wales, witnessed the amazing thing: the ' century flower ' tree they planted since 1979 began to bloom for the first time. First, and also the only time in life.
Nigel Brown recalls the day of sowing 28 years ago, when he was still a young, curious student who cultivated Mexico's rare americana agave plant in a small pot of soil that contained a cactus. For now, he had punctured the glass roof with a height of 6.2 meters while the huge flower stalk was 1.6 meters long.
'Back then, my purpose was to try to see if Mexican flowers survived through the harsh weather in England. However, afterwards, its intense vitality made us not only lazy to care for, but also almost forgotten " - Mr. Brown, currently working at the school's Treborth Biological Garden, recounted.
'We are also looking forward to the day when the tree is blooming, but for the past decade it has not been' static 'at all, so everyone has lost their will .'
Returning to school after the gloomy summer, Mr. Brown was surprised to see when the 1.6-meter-long flower stalk was unknown. It looked so big and strong that it was about to kick the glass roof to reach out. So people have to quickly remove a window to let it ' exit '.

'At present, the branches of the two sides have been dense with yellow and yellow stereotypes, pulling the bees and butterflies to flutter'.
The scientific name is ' agave americana ', but the precious species that originates from Mexico is still known in a folk manner as ' century flower ' because of the 100-year-old concept of flowering once. (Rather, only one and only flowering). It is known that this stemmed resin is used by local people to ferment the famous tequila. In addition, petals can also be processed into a thinly stuffed pancake - a typical type of cake in the Americas.
Its leaves can be green for up to 15 years if still on the tree. This is an important source of fiber for tribes living in the Mexican desert.
