Freak of Nature - a plant in New Zealand suddenly begins to grow 15 centimetres every day

This will bring back to memory the fairytale of Jack and the Beanstalk. It has really happened to a woman of New Zealand who suddenly saw a plant in her garden growing at an incredible rate of 15 centimetres a day and it is already attained a height of six metres.
She had bought a small, spiky succulent plant for her front garden nearly a decade ago had no idea that overnight it would reach for the sky.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 24 February 2017.

It is a Agave Geminiflora and it flowers very late in its life and the lady has come to know that her agave was in the process of flowering. Normally, the typical agave will not flower until it is at least 10 years old, and they usually grow to a height of 3m and this is an exception because it is already 6m in height and is continuing to grow.
