Cleaning up my imbricata blooms

In my climate, the echeveria imbricata can bloom profusely several times every year. When used in tapestries, the flower stalks of the imbricata can be rather messy especially since they put out so many at once.

I usually chop them off for aesthetic reasons. However I usually keep the stalks around so that the pollinating agents can still have their fill of the nectar. I've got lots of bees and Australian honeyeaters (birds) visiting my garden every day. As a bonus, echeveria flower stalks can last a really long time before they start drying up.
