 Agave parryi - USE CODE "CNAB63" FOR ORDERING |
The species,
Agave parryi var. parryi, is found in the USA (Arizona,
New Mexico) and Mexico (Chihuahua, Durango). Like most agaves, known
as century plants, the plant does not flower until maturity at 15
years or more. At this time, a large flower spike grows from the
center of the plant. After it produces seeds, the plant then dies.
I really enjoy the repeating curves in this image, especially the
impressions left on the inner leaves by the thorns of the outer
leaves. This picture was taken in May, 2006 in southern California. |
