Diane, that is an absolutely wonderful Agave. A potatorum is one of my favourites and although i'm not a huge lover of variegated plants, that is amazing. It gets my vote!
Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.

Maybe a better picture of the same plant made this afternoon, showing its symmetry a bit better:

I bought the plant yesterday, from local garden centre!! (ex Pugh, I think...) Now repotted in big square BEF to accommodate its abundant roots. :mrgreen:
Ever hopeful, trying to grow plants from arid sunny climates in the UK!
