The biggest one of these you'll ever see

In the desert garden at The Huntington. This enormous plant, a giant member of the Aloe family, was preparing to flower when I visited The Huntington Botanical Gardens with my daughters last year.

According to a docent, the plant's flowering would be a rare, celebrated event. Alas, my trip to southern California ended too soon to allow me to return to see the bloom. Posted by Picasa
