Excellent set up Dave.
Ed- I've been sneaking some of my plants & seed ( Adansonia) that need rooting into son's fish room, its great.
I'm just wondering how much I can sneak in before he moans.

The Agave utahensis have overtaken the A.impressa.

Got a few others showing through too. Missed the excitement of this since last year!

I have quite a few yellow ones popping up, all from potatorum.

They look interesting Dave - was this a cross with potatorum or a selfing? Fingers crossed the yellow ones might throw some variegated plants!

The yellow ones normally die, I had a batch of utahensis with some white ones, I was quite excited hoping for variegates but they died quickly

All from selfing poratorum. All the hybrids are nice and green. A couple have a hint of green in them so just a waiting game to see what happens once the food that was provided by the seed runs out.
