Hope one of my E. Obesas gets all creative like this.
Not quite so new to cacti now - greenhouse up and running - a cactoholic is born!! Visits welcome - just get in touch.

If you ask me it's more impressive than the mermaid they make all the fuss about over there.

Great photos Mark, thanks for sharing!
I'm surprised it's only open 3 hours a week though!!

Tending more towards cacti :D, particularly Gymnocalyciums, Rebutias, Sulcorebutias, Echinopses, Thelos, Feros and Mamms (and anything else I like the look of!) all in an 8 x 6 polycarb greenhouse and a few windowsills!

Re: the agave you asked for ID
It looks like the plant generally labelled A. titanota. Somebody told me once that it isn't the real titanota (don't know who, maybe Paul in Essex/Spracklin)

Phil,

Thanks for that. I have a plant labelled titanota which at the moment doesn't look too similar - but it's still young and agaves seem to be very different in their juvenile and adult phases.
