What do you call a plant that only blooms once in its lifetime? Monocarpic also known as a century plant.
Most Shaw’s Agaves (_Agave shawii_) bloom anywhere from 25 to 50 years old.

There are so many things to be thankful for this time of the year, and we are thrilled to see our #ShawsAgave (_Agave shawii_) starting to #bloom!
Shaw’s #Agaves around the park are finally starting to open to expose their florescent yellow #Flowers to the world.

There are three main differences between these #MarineMammals:
👂#SeaLions have external ears, while #Seals have internal ears.
🏃Sea lions can "walk" while seals slide.
📣#CaliforniaSeaLions are more vocal and noisier, while #HarborSeals are quieter.
Did you solve the mystery? If you guessed the #CaliforniaSeaLion (Zalophus californianus), you were right! These large #MarineMammals haul out on the buoys at the entrance to #SanDiegoBay.
If you thought it was the call of a seal, tune in tomorrow to discover the differences.
📞New number, who dis?
