Manfreda/Agave virginica

Dennis,
Mine too. The flower spike, now more than 8 feet (about 2.5 meters) tall,
was bent nearly horizontal. I found an extra tomato cage and managed to
slip that over, we'll see what happens.
But the flowers on ours are definitely fragrant, as were all of the ones
in the population from which this one came (now covered with concrete).

My Manfreda virginica fell down. I hate when plants don't stay upright.
There wasn't wind or rain or anything. It just flopped over (directly to
the south).
And also, I don't ever recall the flowers having a scent. Are you sure
that's possible??
