Green is one of my favorite colors (aren’t they all…)!  There is something about the way the sun illuminates leaves, spears and fronds.  It’s a tropical delight here in coastal Florida.  The plants are so lush this time of year.  The succulent agave stand tall and proud.  I wish I could adequately capture Mother Nature’s pallet with my paintbrush.  This is a photograph taken exactly as this agave appeared in the bright sunlight….

The word “succulent” sounds titillating.  You can almost “feel” what it means as it rolls off of your tongue.  Say it right now.  Slowly…

O.k. maybe I just wanted to use the words “succulent and “titillating” in the same sentence. 😉  But these beauties grow all over the place in Florida.  They seem to be just as happy in our tropical swamp as they are in the dry air of the desert.  But with thousands of varieties available, they do have varying care requirements.  So if you want to grow some of these beauties inside or out, read the labels on the plants before buying.  They do love bright sunlight, but they can get sunburned.  I have seen a few wither and die myself.

I love the smooth feel they have and the variety of colors they come in.  I’ve taken artistic liberty with this one obviously.  I was intrigued by the interesting shapes and shadows in this plant.  Nature is my inspiration!
