The temperatures are warming and my garden is absolutely coming to life. Well, it really wasn’t dead or brown because I do live in the Arizona desert, but many plants that were dormant during the winter, are starting to produce new leaves AND flower buds…I can hardly wait!
For the first time, I have decided to enter Gardening Gone Wild’s photo contest. The theme for March is “Awakening”.
Flowers of an Agave desmettiana
My entry is a photo of the flowers of an Agave desmettiana which are just beginning to open up in March. These flowers are the crowning glory of the mature Agave plant, which pours all of it’s energy to producing these beautiful flowers. Afterward, the Agave will die, but will live on through it’s offspring.
