Has It Risen from the Dead?

You may remember thr Agave weberi story but if not here's a quick recap. 

I met him at the candy store.  He turned around and smiled at me, you get the picture (yes we see.) That's when I fell for the spiky agave.

It sat around for a while in its plastic nursery pot as can be seen in this picture that I borrowed from here.

And finally got put in a big pot where it put on some nice growth and looked gorgeous!

All seemed to go very well over the summer!

When rains were predicted to return A.W. got a nice plastic shower cap to keep the rain out.  I think it also allowed condensation and didn't allow for very good ventalation but all seemed fine, the soil was dry as a bone. Then came  a few nights of freezing temperatures. 

 

When the plastic was removed he seemed to be lost and A.W. was put in my D.Y.K. (dead you know) post.

 

I haven't had the heart to rip it out yet  (That's the current excuse for being a sloth.) and now it's doing this. (Notice the forget me nots in the background.  Coincidence?  You decide.

 

 So agave experts,  is this one of those last death throes or has A.W. come back to life for Easter?
