hoov:in regards to stump cover up. I have some tin my father-in-law gave me from a shed he had torn down by a tornado. Of course I cut the stump first to about 16" and then put a sheet rock screw in the middle and used it as a center point for a string. Put together the tin pieces side to side with metal screws at a height of 16". I cut a slot in the root flare to make the bottom of the trunk circular. After attaching the pieces of tin together I covered the stump with the tin siding using the string as a compass to make the top round. On the bottom of the stump I used 3" metal self tapping screws through the tin into the stump wood. I leveled the top and positioned the tin in a circle. It's by no means perfect. I filled inside the metal with compost. I'm hoping this will speed up the decomposition. thanks for the heads up on the selection of Agaves. I cut the tin with a circular saw with the blade backwards.

Glorious flower images, the colours are so beautiful and a lovely quote from Rilke, a favourite poet of mine.
