WPP: On Mount Nebo in Jordan

What was seen at Mount Nebo, 10 kiliometers west of Madaba in Jordan, about 2700 feet above sea level. Mount Nebo was where God showed Moses a view of the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 34:1-7).

I remembered many of us were taking pictures of these special-looking trees.

Picture taken on: 29 November 2005

[Update These plants are called Agave Americana ‘Marginata’. Each thin stalk actually emerges from the center of a succulent base and it is part of the flowers which bloom on the branches right at the top.

Thanks so much Andrea from Hajos Cactus for providing this information!]
