and mix it with some trouble makers (or probably just mindless teenagers)...and you end up with one big defaced succulent! I found this outside of a Mexican restaurant, and had to get a picture for Cactus Monday (a little cheat, since this is not a cactus). I thought I may never see anything like this again...at least I hope not!!!

Unfortunately, it's not uncommon... usually, it's on publicly planted agaves. It about equates to carving your name in a tree... It ruins the looks of a plant but fortunately, it doesn't seem to kill them.
They do this at my arboretum too :(
What a shame...
Track em down and six months hard planting I say.
I have seen this before too. Sad for the plant. Happy Cactus Monday anyway.
Since there are no Birch trees in Florida, I guess this the defacement plant of choice here in the south. Did you ever see a Northern White Birch carved up with stuff like "Jane loves Dick?" (Oh I guess that wasn't such a good example was it?)
Happy Cactus Monday.
Those kids were too brave on this:(
Some people will do anything for their 15 minutes of fame. Such a`shame.

This is an amazing photo...I would think it would kill the plant...breaking the outer protective skin etc...Nature surely has a way of protecting herself.
HCM fellow cacuteer! :)
It's sad! I have seen this many times in Venezuela :(. If they only made a great drawing, i might could accept it... HCM!
What a pity! That people just can´t respect living things......
Great pictures though
Happy cactus Monday!
happy cactus Monday!!!!
I think I have lost my comment......
Poor Agave.
I have not seen any of that so far here in Arizona. I think succulents count, dont' they? I'm new to cactus Monday.
That's some unique grafitti!
HCM!!!
HCM! a little late on my behalf... interesting take on the theme! I have seen this before, but when photographed it turns it into art. well done!
Such a shame that people have defaced the plant like this...it really would spoil the look.
