Do not Know the names of the two flowers on the left.

On the right is the "Century" Plant (Agave Mitis), it flowers only once in it's lifetime. The flower stock has shot up over 20 feet within a matter of months as it finally begins to bloom, then in about two weeks it will start to die back. It will dry out & desiccate, push all it's extra nutrients into the new shoots, so it's a total sacrifice. It could take up to a year. When you lift the leaves there will often be a dozen or so off-shoots which can be used for new plants.
