Agave is a genus of monocots native to the hot and arid regions of Mexico and the Southwestern United States. Some agave species are also native to tropical areas of South America. The plants are perennial, but each rosette flowers once and then dies (see semelparity). Some species are known by the name "century plant". Source Wikipedia.
(120/366) Busy day yesterday tidying the house up for an unexpected viewing & at the same time welcoming a family with 2 small kids & dog checking into the B&B. So I just had time for a quick snap of one of my cactus plants basking in the sunshine on the kitchen windowsill.

Slender, columnar clustering cactus with dense silvery downcast spines and reddish cylindrical flowers which emerge from the sides of the plant.
I think these cactus blooms are beautiful as they emerge from the pads of some sort of prickly pear cactus. Boyce Thompson Arboretum in the new Wallace Garden area
Spotted these rascals on a hiking trip to Joshua Tree National Park in Southern California. We were hiking the hidden meadows trail on the West side of the park. It was mid-day but I was still able to pull out some nice colors in the needles of these cactus.

I was photographing these teddy bear cholla on the west side of Tucson Mountain in the morning shade, just below Gates Pass, when I was suprised by the rising sun popping over the ridge. I quickly reframed for a starburst and the glow of the sun on the cactus needles.
