What the heck is this monster?

A friend posted this on another newsgroup. He saw it yesterday while on a bike ride. This is scary.

Thanks, I'll pass the info along. (And, no, it's not a doctored photo. :)

It's really cool. I want one. But I want one that eats little kids.

Then get two or three, and space them about 10 feet apart. They are a southwest desert plant (notice the Arizona license plate?). If you get them from the same mother plant, they usually bloom the same year. That makes an impressive display.

I thought it looked just like the yucca I have almost ready to bloom in my front yard.

We had some in Hawaii that would. Very sharp points, and recurved spikes along the edges of the leaves. Not something to get tangled up in.

I have a bunch of these and they are starting to grow and do their thing now. I got them all from the same mother, so will have that awesome display.

Please post some pictures when they bloom. Mine are going to be at least a decade away.
