This agave and the succulents around it were originally in small pots. They have been sitting here on my driveway for eight or ten years! I water them regularly and leaves and debris accumulate around their base. I get a regular chuckle at how well they are doing while other things that are carefully planted do not grow nearly as well. Notice the shovel handle off to the left. Not the rake it has a very short handle.

In the background is an old laboratory sink that is holding other succulents. Out of view behind is another large blue-green agave.
