sunshine makes me think agave!

The sunshine this morning has agaves on my mind.  I go through moments where I feel like a cruel agave owner. I feel like they are saying, "why the heck did you plant me outside in the PNW?!" But then there are those days where the sun shines, I'm immediately transported to a state of euphoria and I have hope for my agaves once again. Today is that day! Hooray sunshine!! For those living outside the PNW, thats a big deal this time of year.  So I intend on soaking it allll up! And what better way to celebrate sunshine than an agave post? (Well, maybe a palm tree post would do too...)

Please forgive all the pine needles and leaves. I really need to get out and clean everything up, but for now, all I can do is just enjoy some much needed sunshine.  I have been sooo thrilled by the growth of this agave ovatifolia.

At first I thought I could do a wordless wednesday agave post... but apparently I've got the gab today.

I guess agaves make my gabby.  How could you now comment on the epic spikes!

Speaking of spikes, agave bovicornuta has been a real trooper. I have not figured out where I will store this bad boy for the winter, but it's sharp and huge!

Ouch!

This frosty blue outgrew his arm amputation and is starting to take one some stature.

I just can't get over this gorgeous icy blue. This is icy done right.  Icy in a way that evokes warm sunshine!

And I am a big variegated fan.  This morning agave cornelius was glowing for me!

I love being greeted at the front door by this!! Don't the arms kind of look like fingers? It's waving!

And lastly, the only plant to have been moved inside... agave americana medio picta alba.  Have a happy agave growing sunshine loving Wednesday!
