I discovered this charming Halloween display in my neighborhood in Redwood City, CA. The clever gardener speared mini pumpkins on the sharp tips of a beautiful agave. It's a perfect combo of shapes and colors: spines and ribs, orange and gray. And it gives every passerby a chuckle.
I grow this same agave and it's amazing how often I find a fallen leaf speared on the uppermost tip. It's lovely.
I'm wondering if these gardeners have had that same experience and it got them wondering what else they might poke onto there.
