Most boojums just grow straight up, like an upside down carrot.
They can get very tall, one reached 90 feet before falling.
They are some of the world's oldest plants, as well.

BIZNAGA (Barrel Cactus)

Purple spines add color!

MESCAL (Agave, Century Plant)

A happy agave along the Cuesta la Vibora road.

CARDON

Baja's cardon is the world's largest species of cactus.
The sun is eclipsed by this giant.

Seldom does one see a boojum with so many branches!
