Green Sotol


At one of our many stops where we parked the car and walked around, I spotted this plant.  I believe it is a "Green Sotol" which is in the same family as the "skeleton" I showed you the other day.  But these leaves are much thinner than the broad ones in the dead plant I showed you.  And look at the sharp "hooks" all along each leaf!  You would not want to fall into one of these plants accidentally.  Watch where you walk!  I believe that at a time in the future, a central stalk will appear, as you saw in the other plant I photographed.  Be sure and click on this to see more detail!

I don't like the looks of those hooks or spikes but great to see the detail in the photo.

I would NOT want to mess around with this plant. Very scary looking with all those sharp teeth. Yikes! Betsey
