Furcraea quicheensis

The genus Furcraea is related to Agave, and they have the same growing habit of waiting many years to reach maturity, then sending up a giant stalk and coming into flower at the ends of their lives. Furcraea quicheensis is an uncommon species, native to the Mexico-Guatemala border region. Like other species of Furcraea (but unlike Agave), it has pendulous flowers, in this case with a greenish-yellow color.

Objects collected (mostly beach finds, but also including three seed pods from further inland) from between Hayle and Godrevy, St Ives Bay, Cornwall. 28 October 2019.

5 weathered shell fragments from dog cockles (Glycymeris glycymeris), and one from some other bivalve.

1 striped venus clam (Chamelea gallina) shell half.

6 pieces of glass - not as good quality as what can be found between Penzance and Marazion, but frosted and without imperfections.

7 common cockle (Cerastoderma edule) shell halves.

and from Hayle town, growing in a roadside green next to Copperhouse Pool, three Furcraea parmentieri seed pods, two of which I sowed the seeds from, and the other one remains closed until spring. They germinated after 3 weeks. 🌱

27-09-17, Penzance, Cornwall: Furcraea sp. (either selloa or foetida, I think, does anyone else know?) with hundreds of bulbils on the inflorescence. If more had been within reach, I would have taken more home, but I acquired around 40, and I’ve now potted them up into the default gritty soil mix for succulents, and they’ll root over the next few weeks.

Seedlings moved off the propagator to grow on a west-facing windowsill, mostly Haworthia species and hybrids from the Haworthia Society, plus Furcraea parmentieri from seed pods collected in Hayle.  December 2019.
