One of the things I love most in my garden is the Agave parryi that I planted a year or so ago. It’s grown so quickly and has already produced 6 or 7 pups (that I know of).

Today, I discovered two more of them hiding under her bottom leaves. I’d love to pull them, but they’re pretty tightly tucked-in and I got stuck the first time I tried. I wonder if I should wait until they’re a little bigger before separating them from the mother plant. (The ones I pulled previously popped out a little further away from her.)

In preparation to replace the filth-bag Angel’s Trumpet that I finally dug out of my garden yesterday (I’d been working on removing that thing for an entire week), I’ve been taking pictures of everything I like (these are random photos from the past week).

I’m not sure what to replace it with. It needs to be sculptural, frost hardy, grow to at least 10ft tall and work with all the cactus and succulents I currently have planted. (It’s purpose will be to create a screen over the living room window.) I’d love to hear (or even see) your ideas…
