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