Although this could very well be a picture of me finding a new treasure at a favorite nursery, it's actually an illustration by David Catrow for a children's book called Plantzilla.

An Agave Story

You may remember my post a month or two ago in which I talked about the agaves that were given to me by Sally Priest.  The car was already full of other plants so I could only take a few.  However, there were still some more left that needed a good home and I know  this Portland gardener who likes agaves a little so I made a trip back to retrieve the rest.   From the pictures below, you can see that they had been neglected and needed to find a good home.
 
 



First I cleaned them up a bit - here's the aftermath:


Here are some of them after a little care for a few weeks.



 
Brought in from the rain to dry a little before being placed in boxes.
Now packed safely into the car and ready for their trip to Aunite Loree's Agave Rescue.
 
I know that they will be safe and happy for the rest of their lives.  Hooray!
