Submit Your Agave Photos!

Phipps members are invited to share their photos for Adiós Agave Night!

Phipps' beloved Agave americana is making its final appearance in the glasshouse with a big bloom before its slow decline. Currently growing so large that Phipps staff had to remove a glass pane from the Desert Room ceiling, this big bloom signifies that this plant is about to reach the end of its life, meaning that Phipps will have to remove the Agave once the bloom reaches its peak.

This summer, we’re asking Phipps members to share agave memories with us! Select memories will be on display in our Adiós Agave Night. Submitters are welcome to share photos and brief descriptions. Phipps would love to know your name, favorite memory of the agave or any stories you'd like to share!

The deadline for submissions is Sun., July 19.
