One Blossoming Reason Less

I've never crossed the equator. Maybe, it's because I'm afraid of a sun shining from the wrong side. However, there is a reason less to do it, because the Giant Spear Lily a.k.a. Queensland Mountain Lily is blossoming at Zürich's Botanical Garden.



Obviously, this is a rare event. Read all about this marvelous organisms of the kingdom Plantae or even better, just go to the Botanical Garden a.s.a.p.

[some information on the plant in English]

It is incredible that they only blossom every ten years. It really reminds me of the blue agave in Mexico, out which one can produces Tequila when they are eight to ten years old. Interesting coincidence though. I love this blog...
