A Century Plant Stalk

We picked up this little one off the side of the road. Wendy has a plan to dry the stalk out and mount it beside our porch. It is impressive both how quickly these stalks go up and their strength.

If you stick the stalk in the ground like a pole (even add a bit of cement to make it secure) the birds LOVE them. I have one stuck in a metal pole in my yard and it is everyone's favorite perch. It has lasted 2 years so far....
