For this week's Wednesday Vignette, I'm sharing another couple of shots from my recent trip to Disneyland, of Agaves at
Downtown Disney. I'm not an Agave expert, but these in the first pic look like 'Joe Hoak' to me. There were many more, planted en masse like this, in other beds throughout the open-air mall. It was hard to get a good photo because of the large green lighting cans, which you can just see in this shot on the right (I tried cropping it out as much as possible).

In this same bed there was also a mass planting of (I think) Agave
lophantha quadricolor, a beautiful Agave, which unfortunately also had
an enormous green lighting can plunked right in the middle of it. I'm sure the lighting is lovely at night, but I wish it had a more subtle footprint during the day.

It almost looks like the Agaves are using the lighting can as a megaphone. Perhaps they're protesting.
On our next trip maybe I'll try getting a more artistically framed closeup.
