Last year in Fall Cheekwood featured gorgeous Agave plants in their Fall Festival. I hope they return this year as they were gorgeous. Here's a few pics to wet your whistle.
These are Blue American Agave plants surrounded by blue flower beds. I'm not sure what that blue flower is, but it's a gorgeous display.
The varigated Agaves were planted next to yellow and orange Chrysanthemums. Wouldn't this look great in a yard for Fall. Notice the pumpkins scattered throughout this particular display.
When I Googled Agaves, including the various varieties featured here, I noticed several images where the Agave plants are planted in long rows in Mexico. No doubt so they can grow big and be exported to America. It's a rainy week here in Tennessee, but at least the high temperatures are gone. Although we still have a fair amount of humidity to contend with. I did some Fall decorating yesterday. I can't hardly wait for the cooler season to come and relieve us of all of this heat and humidity. ENJOY!
ReplyDeleteI like the blue one the best. The flowers around it look like lavender, but the leaves don't.
They are huge!
Can you believe how big these things are. It's amazing to me. I like the blue ones the best too. Carol
DeleteI found your blog by way of a comment on another blog. I love your photos. The striated agave looks like it was painted. I am taking painting classes and am going to try to paint the agave. I love the way the shades of green blend one into the other. Hope I can create that effect.
