Agave Leaf

Kalhatti Ghat, Tamil Nadu, Dec 2004

This desert succulent plant is found almost all over india and many species of this plant develop spikes at the edge of their leaves which are filled with toxins to keep enemies away.
This one here clearly advertising the fact that the spikes have toxins and hence asking everyone to stay away. Who says plants cannot communicate?
