      Yes, I suppose you are right ... we got used to them leaning over the side of the road quite quickly though :o)
      Literally "alien" also, as these are introduced and escaped garden plants, originating from Central America.       Posted 5 years ago

The Lion's tail

"Agave attenuata" is a species of agave sometimes known as the lion's tail, swan's neck, or foxtail for its development of a curved inflorescence, unusual among agaves. Native to the plateau of the State of Jalisco in central Mexico, as one of the unarmed agaves, it is popular as an ornamental plant in gardens.
