Agaves

[Cactuspic]

I took the Agave parryi while on summer vacation in Arizona. The other, an Agave leopold I took as my buddy's. I love Agaves but they are just too big and mean (even for an attorney) especially for my overcrowded greenhouse. Perhaps if I made tequila...

first shot really shows off the sculptural forms. Your shots make the cactii sold locally seem so pathetic .

I really like the first one, good job!

Lovely shots- Like how the leaves in #1 leave imprints on each other after they've opened out.

Thanks RM. :) My fascination with succulents and cacti, both from the perspective of a grower and a photographer (sometimes it is hard for me to separate the two), relates to their sculptural aspects.

Best regards.

Thanks Brian. The leaf in the upper left quadrant is still in its rolled form with its spines imbedded in the leaf below.

Best to you.
