Desert plant with 12' stalk?

It's an astonishing plant. Looks like an agave but is much bigger. Flower stalk, now at 12', seemed to appear suddenly. Hope someone can tell me what it is!

The plant is known as a Century plant. Agave. It is called this because it is mistakenly though to bloom once every 100 years.
Reply:There are many, many, many different species of agave. You probably saw one type.





Also, your questioning technique needs work.
