How tall is that? You can buy teeny tiny ones of those here, they sell them as cactus plants, can't grow them out in the winter though.

It's a lovely color. I like the little ones around it, sets it off.

the agave is also called "The Century Plant", because they grow Very slow. that plant looks to be about 20 years old to me
