The juice, the flesh, the roots, the flower. And of course there's the tequila too, which Rudee alluded to. All in all an amazing plant.<br /><br />Hey Angry Parsnip, I'm totally jealous that you have a garden with agave. Enjoy them while they bloom. Would you get new little plants from them? Someday I'll have may own agave garden--maybe.<br /><br />Steven and others--isn't that the most amazing flower? The stem is so strong that is can be used like wood.<br /><br />Magical mystical teacher--thank you for that sweet haiku. I like the idea of royalty. To me the flower looks very heraldic.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449827163911239893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424004817560458114.post-17611018256080884312010-04-18T15:05:19.973-07:002010-04-18T15:05:19.973-07:00agave blooming
