A colorful collection

I love the little mossy succulents in the foreground (in addition to everything else!).

I have a story... I once grew a big 'ol agave like the one pictured...it really got that big...then it got attacked by agave snout weevils. I knew nothing about them and learned about them when I googled "why does my agave smell like a corpse??" I never smelled anything so bad. Insult to injury was I couldn't throw the agave away in my own bin because the smell would haunt it forever. I bagged it, put it my car, and drove to a nearby apartment complex that had a big dumpster. I gagged the whole drive over there. Then my car stunk for a while after that. I'm still traumatized over the whole thing and I miss my beautiful agave.
So lovely, indeed

This is a beautiful garden. Fascinating story. If you grew another agave, is there anything you can do to protect it from the weevil?

@shutterbug49 I have other agaves but they didn't attack those. They tend to go after the big ones for some reason.
