Yuccas do the same with a high stalk and their flowers up where the polinators can get to it. The birds went up and down the bloom gathering seeds in the late summer. They lasted for weeks. The one and only time they bloomed.
I got a book by Neil DeGrasse Tyson signed when I saw him in Austin years ago.
Speaking of blooms....a couple of my bluebonnets still have blooms, while the others have turned to seed.
