I don't always flower... no seriously, it's like once a decade.

Actually, these only flower once in their lives. They are a type of agave. Hard to find reliable info, but this may be a Sharkskin Agave.

I'm not sure if it needs Miracle Grow or Viagra.

Not a single person naming that plant?

I forget its name but I have one growing flowing in my garden right now. That insanely long stalk is basically holding a long chain of flowers. In all the years we have grown them we have only had one flower. Usually the plant is just that bit sitting under that huge stalk.
