While asparagus does grow single shoots like this, I suspect this picture is staged. I grow asparagus and you never get that many pop up at once and all grow the same exact height. They're also too spread out for a single plant, usually they will grow from a fairly central point per plant.
It grows super fast as well. Something like 6 inches a day. Second only to bamboo, apparently. (Source: my one brief flirtation with manual labour was picking asparagus in the Northern Territory)
You are going to be delighted when you see a pineapple growing too
Pineapple plants are stabby bastards too. I see those ones in the pic have been declawed lol.
Harvest Moon didnt even lie to me!
Hmmm…

It looks more like this:
the other pic is mostly from a grocery store where its all bundled together and it was bunched together on the ground for the picture.

Sounds like a bad pickup line.
"Hey babe, guess what can grow 6 inches today".
The Northern Territory of Australia?
That's the one. A place called Ti Tree.
Wild, i didn't think we had the weather for it, especially down at Ti tree that's so close to the middle.
This was in like 1993, so who knows if it's still there.
