Re: Agave talk & pictures
I'm new here so this is the first time that I've seen this thread. All that I have is a very embarrassing A.americana which I will show more love this year.

Re: Agave talk & pictures
This is a good agave thread, that would be nice if we added to it and made it the main place to go for agave pictures , it would help with ID too.

thank you for reviving this thread.... I have added to this in the past, when I get chance I will take some more pics and upload them here. I have quite a few 'normal' agaves and we tend to post pictures of the fancy variegated types.

Re: Agave talk & pictures
A few of my outdoor agaves from this year a various times.
The Beast From The East meets an Agave gentryi
A few more in the October sunshine
And the baby of the family, which laughed at last winter without a cover of any sort. Here is an interesting one - grown from seed collected from Agave montana at its southern disjunct population. A natural hybrid between montana x mitis. proving to be handsome, tough and fast.

Re: Agave talk & pictures
Really nice Paul. I think next year I will try a few outside again. I was looking back through this thread and my agave planter made me smile. It survived a few winters outside without any real issue, however it did not survive two puppies that took a liking to shredding the plants!
from this.... to this...….. it is hard to believe how tough these plants are, I dug them all up in spring and they have all survived and will be ready to go back out next year.... just not where the pups can get them

Re: Agave talk & pictures
Here is my agave kichiokan mediopicta ( nafaku I think- anyone ?), its usual colour is lovely matt blue & green, I noticed some pups the other day & two are white MP another further along is the normal blue & green colour.
Unusual coloured pups Normal parent colour Anyone had this before or know if it has a cv name from this parentage, this isn't where agave tuxedo kamen originates from is it ?.
agave tuxedo kamen probably the most beautiful agave IMHO, not that I'm biased.
agave tuxedo kamen is an unreltaed plant but I have hope for the new pup
