Desert Botanical Garden - Plants & Sculpture - Cow's Horn Agave - Agave bovicornuta
The Desert Botanical Garden is a living museum of some 50,000 plants representing more than 4,000 species. They offer education, research, exhibition, and conservation of desert plants from around the world with emphasis on species from the Sonoran Desert — southern Arizona and south to Mexico. Back in April, it was clear, beautiful and warm, but not hot — perfect for viewing a Cow's Horn Agave. I'm not sure where it got its name but it's fun to look at but not to touch — those spines at the end of its leaves are big and sharp.
