    I’ve not seen one of those before. Are they prickly?

    I’ve never seen agave, and it does look like a star.

    Such a stylish flower, the look of a terrestrial solar plant has fallen to earth, it’s ‘rays’ reaching for the sun in an ironic twist. Very cool, a sun in the sky that has fallen to earth. Cool!

    I wonder how it is processed to make that syrupy sweetener.
    There is art in plant ‘bones’.
