How's the Agave looking now? Any changes in its behaviour?
To be honest ive just enjoyed seeing pictures of the Agaves.

Re: Agave OH NO
Sorry I need to check & take some picts but I have decided its a white/blue becky so an isthmensis.
here is a few potatorum Kisshokan spine picts to tide you over & why I decided it wasn't one of these, the spines are wrong & its smaller

Re: Agave OH NO
Here you go, its still looking suspicious to me, I have included another isthmensis for comparison with a bit of agave eye candy as a backdrop.
Well whats the verdict other than wait & see.....

Re: Agave OH NO
The main verdict is WOW, amazing plants! I think I've kept the Parassana marginata that I got from you in too much sun. There can be a lot of that here in Portugal.

Re: Agave OH NO
Most young variegated agave's do best with some shade or you slow the growth down & they go pink 
, mine have bubble wrap for winter & green netting in the summer. It should like the extra heat you have in Portugal.

Re: Agave OH NO
Yes I only realised quite how pink it had gone when I set it next to a pup I took off it a couple of years ago that has been much more in the shade, it is much greener and more open, the mother plant looks like it's got a punk hair do, all straight up and weird colours and even it has had quite a lot of shade.

Re: Agave OH NO
From May 2020
Feb 2021, looking a bit more elongated, seems to be a very slow flowering process.
definitely more stretching from the base I have left a few pups on to see if I get mini flowers on them.

Re: Agave OH NO
Looking great Tina. As sad as it is for that specimen I imagine it's going to look really spectacular!
You're not wrong about it being slow - 2121 so over a century!!!
