This weekend coming I’ll be taking a drive to see what agaves I can find and collect. They grow wild beside the roads where in the past people have dumped them and they’ve survived and spread.
I’ll take pics when I go. Just posting this here and now so I don’t forget!

Tell me if you'll find Kichiokan or Quadricolor; v-reginae mediopicta or Kizan also suits fine! 
Good lucj anyway!

Re: Going on a Agave collecting trip.
Ha, I think it’ll just be A. americana and the variegated variety of them. But never know what people have chucked and what’s spread where.
