Oh what a beauty ! I've never seen one as big as that before !

These and similar comments have been heard coming from walkers passing through the yard at Porthdinllaen recently

This magnificent plant has been quietly growing in the garden at Angorfa in Porthdinllaen

Known as an Agarve  or Century plant, it is more commonly seen in warmer climates. It only flowers like this once in its lifetime ( about 50 years) and then dies. Fortunately there are several small agarves waiting to follow it.

Have you got a big one as well ? Send us a photo !
