Your images are amazing as always, @joanstewart! I love agave plants, and they grow beautifully in warmer climates in the southwest part of the United States, but not where I live. So I only get to see them when I travel!

I did not know they are toxic, so ii learned something! There must be parts that are toxic (like if you get poked by it’s spike) and parts that are edible. And I believe that the edible part is used as a sweetener.

It looks a lot like aloe plants, which are soft and fleshy. We can grow aloe indoors here, and we use it medicinally for skin rashes and burns.

I hope you can get seeds from your agave so you can grow another one when that one dies!
