Day 134 The plant shows even clearer signs that it is nearing the very end of its life cycle. The purple hues that first appeared across the canopy have now deepened, spreading from the fan leaves into some of the sugar leaves, creating a rich contrast between the dark foliage and the lighter flower structures. Many of the oldest leaves have continued their natural decline. Some have turned a brittle yellow or deep burgundy before curling inward, while others have begun to fall away entirely. The plant's energy seems fully redirected toward its final reproductive stage, giving it a dense, mature, and almost regal appearance. The overall structure looks heavier and more settled than before, as if the entire plant has entered a calm, final phase of development. Despite the visible signs of aging, it still holds a vibrant, almost dramatic aesthetic-like the last burst of color before winter.
