Mike, that's a terrific view into this little ecosystem.  The colors are captivating and those two purple flowers are fine "centerpieces".

Hi Mike,

The flash lit this scene perfectly.  I like the difference in light levels between foreground and subject.  The purple florets are nice and sharp..........................Jim

Nicely done. It's amazing how life will take root anywhere when conditions are just right. I love Agave plants.
