A simple image of the bloomstalk of an agave americana, commonly known as century plant. The stalk stretches upward against an almost clear sky with only a single smudge of wispy cloud at upper left. The blooms appear to be reddish in color, although we are seeing them from below so they are partially obscured.

It's #BlueSkyMonday, so here's a century plant in bloom against the (almost) clear blue sky of Kelly, New Mexico.
