Toadstools

We hiked today to rock formations called toadstools.  Similar to tent rocks, these were ones where a large rock reduced erosion beneath it. 

On the way were other colorful hills.

Agave plants are in bloom.  The plant is also called the Century Plant.  We’ve been told by several people that the plants only bloom once in 100 years.  Given all the blooms we’ve seen, that didn’t seem right.  By googling, it looks the plant really does bloom once and then dies.  But, it blooms in 10 to 20 years not every 100 years.  After it dies several offshoots can start from the roots.  So, it’s not so rare to see a bloom, but still something special.
