| On our journey from south to north Albania along the coast, we drove through Porto Palermo. Just before we reached this town, we drove along a mountain side full of flowering Agave, quite a spectacular sight. Since these plants only flower after many years (10 - 30), their flowering together on this location seems likely to have been synchronized by some environmental stimulus; but which one remains elusive. |
