That’s some crazy plant life there!! Those sure look like agaves in several pictures but I had wondered how they
would grow in that wet area on the rocks. Pretty neat finding some neps growing wild too. Whatever those long leaf plants are they resemble a banana plant. Which you had to come across some of them?
