Agave potatorum (this time in color)

I will have to be brief as several keys on my keyboard no longer work. :-( It's time for a new laptop, it seems.

This is a "repeat plant" from last month -- http://365project.org/rhoing/365/2015-02-09 -- but this time in color. I'm really fascinated by how these plants shoot out new leaves.
