Re: any idea
Hi Brian
Looks very much like one of the many forms of Agave parryi, quite possibly ssp neomexicana.
And a very nice one, too.

Re: any idea
I've not seen one of those before - my word it is beautiful!
Tina - did derek make the hybrid himself? It couldn't ever have happened in nature.

Re: any idea
Yes it was two of dereks agaves that flowered I'm not sure if all the seed was true to this form.
There is also Royal spine which is a lovely similar hybrid, I'll get you a photo tomorrow.

Re: any idea
Hello Tina the label says Polyanthoflora? but who knows? I can see alot of confusion ahead with all the hybridising
which is going on, mainly with the Aloe hybrids.

Re: any idea
Your plant most certainly is not polianthiflora, Brian - that has very pronounced marginal fibres and white bud printing. It really does look like what I imagine a cross between vic-reg and macroacantha would look like!
