Fwd: Emergency room

Just an addendum. These plants, if you're not familiar with them, are more formal, symmetrical, than their larger, gray cousin, Agave americana [century plant; the source of mescal and tequila]. But they bloom the same way--by sending a bloom spike 20 feet in the air. There is one down the street that is blooming now, so I guess we don't need to keep ours around to see what they look like when flowering.

Thanks, Auralie, but I think the answer is to get rid of the plants. They sucker constantly and are a real nuisance to keep controlled. We've talked about having the yard guy yank them a couple of times; I think we may carry through on that idea now.

Really scary! Thank goodness it isn't more serious. Tell her to be more
careful how she weeds - don't be such a neatnik. It's better to have weeds than
risk such.

No lasting damage from the wound. By the time we got home, the swelling
was nearly down. Kind of scary, though, the way it just ballooned up
