Agave
I got this plant from Kakteen Katz 20 years ago as Agave victoria-reginae. Can somebody furnish me with the correct name or is it just a worthless hybrid? Avoid looking at the surrounding tat.

Re: Agave
A couple of questions:
Why do you think the name is wrong?
Why would changing the label (to a hybrid) make the plant worthless? It's the same plant. Plenty of forum members willing to give it a home, I'm sure - me for one.

Re: Agave
What makes you think it's a hybrid? There's a lot of variation when you look at photos of wild plants.
There are also some new species and subspecies described recently such as pintilla and nickelsiae as species and ssp.swobodae

Re: Agave
Thanks for the answers. It just did not look right for A.victoria-reginae and I do not really follow the more recent Agave news.

Re: Agave
Look right to me I have seen ones that are more tightly growing and ones like yours but they are all same plants
