Yes Paul. I'm on a business trip and a business partner surprised me with a helicopter trip to Grand Canyon. I have arranged my flight back to Europe so that I have a few days to myself to explore some places with a higher density of Agavaceae 😉

Time to go utahensis hunting.
Agave
"American aloe plant," 1797, from Greek Agaue, proper name in mythology (mother of Pentheus), from agauos "noble," perhaps from agasthai "wonder at".
