Description
This mature Parry's Agave specimen exhibits a classic, symmetrical rosette form with blue-green, spiky leaves. It is currently developing a tall, central flower stalk, a sign of its impending monocarpic bloom. While not a traditional bonsai subject, its compact, upright growth can be appreciated for its sculptural qualities.
