The Century Plant or Maguey (Agave americana) is an agave originally from Mexico but cultivated worldwide.It is also known as the American aloe, although it is not related to the true aloes.
It has a spreading rosette (about 4 m wide) of gray-green leaves up to 2 meters (6 ft.) long, each with a spiny margin and a heavy spike at the tip. Its common name derives from its habit of only occasionally flowering, but when it does, the spike with a cyme of big yellow flowers,
may reach up to 8 meters (25 ft.) in height.The plant dies after flowering. The average life-span is around 25 years.

It's called the "corpse flower" in New York, Amorphophallus titanum, and blooms once every 67 years. It emits a terrible odor that can be smelled miles away.

The only ones that spring to mind are agave and bamboo, but the flowers are not like that. Have you seen it? Where?
