I meant to reply to this earlier, but I'm not finding the post that I desired to make. So maybe I fell asleep while composing and never got around to submit it.

What I intended to say was that the pictures from 2015 to 2017 were taken in the colder months of the year, and therefore the Sun did not last as long during the day as it does during the summer months. The picture below was taken in Spring of 2018 and therefore the sun has been steadily increasing in duration and intensity. So you can see that the leaves of this Agave are standing up a little more then they did in the aforementioned pictures.

I would say that looks very good! The leaves are noticeably more upright. It would be interesting to take a picture each month throughout the year and compare the form.

A little like my "Growth Over Time" series. I'll start accumulating photos for such a collection tomorrow.
