This first shot is just to show you the elevation:
In this shot, the cable TV attachment on the pole is at 20 feet. And even though the perspective is a little off because the plant is about 10' away from the pole and closer to me with the camera, it still shows the flower spike on the agave to be about 18' tall so far. I was kind of bummed when I saw that the agave was going to bloom, as I cut off the pups as they form. Agaves bloom, then the mother plant dies, leaving the pups to carry on. But, no pups on this plant.
And the far end of the garden. The opuntia is blooming nicely.
