Join/Renew Agave Guiengola Time Lapse Witness a time lapse of the Agave guiengola named "Guien" blooming in the Garfield Park Conservatory Desert House. The time lapse started on January 19, 2022 and ended March 3, 2022 and was created by our Deputy Director of Conservatories. Watch the flowering process which starts at the bottom with yellow blooms that move slowly to the top of the quiote (flowering stalk). This was the first and last time in her 35-year life that Guien bloomed. It happens just before the plant slowly dies. Watch The Time Lapse COMMUNITY CORNER PlayStreets!
