Re: Emergency room

Thanks, David. It's a nasty, but neat looking, plant. Grows in SoCal and maybe in your area, too. Here's a link to a good picture of it. http://plantsdatabase.com/showpicture/23286/

Back from the emergency room. The short one, while weeding, got stabbed
in the arm by an Agave angustifolia. By the time she got inside to wash
the blood off, the area of the puncture had swollen up as big as a
hen's egg. So we got to visit our local health care provider and hang
in the ER for awhile.

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.
