Agave Americana - fully grown now

Hard to work out its exact growth over the last six weeks, it is now huge and verdant for a short period. The birds will start to strip the seeds out now. It is over 20 feet anyway and is still about 17 inches around its girth.

Extraordinarily there are American Agaves this year where I have never seen even one before in the Rambla.


Recently driving down to a beach I had never visited in the Cabo de Gata I saw from a distance a series of masts - I thought it really did have a sailing facility... as I got closer of course it was a forest of agaves sailing on a sand dune.
