Agave gentryi is a massive bastard of a plant that grows at high elevations (11,000') in the mountains of Northern Mexico. After a few decades of photosynthesis, it flowers once then dies. It will flower all summer and provide sugar for hummingbirds,moths, bees, flies,etc.
@cruelmistake @JoeySantore Something about the mortality rate of plants over millennia. For example, a Pine will live for centuries, produce millions of seeds over a lifetime, but realistically, only a few of those individuals will make it. Our perception for these timescales are skewed.
I kinda blow my own mind looking back at things I've done in the past, most things I create have little planning, and I don't take more than a day on most pieces. There is a lot of random art that I did not like at first, but come back to and love.
