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 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.

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)

This was in like 1993, so who knows if it's still there.

Sounds like a bad pickup line.

"Hey babe, guess what can grow 6 inches today".
