You have a lot of very nice plants there
Regarding 'Shira ito no Ohi':
https://www.achat-vente-palmiers.com/en/
This nursery in France usually have them but it currently says 'coming soon'.
https://agavespecialist.eu/ has some rare plants so they might be worth a try. Beyond that they will likely be posted on ebay periodically.

Re: Agave talk & pictures
Some good looking plants you have, I don't think I can help with 'Shira ito no Ohi', we all wanted it when new then I know I got bored with it I think Wayne may have it now.

Re: Agave talk & pictures
Here are both of mine. The second is an offset that came from the first plant when I bought it. This was a nice surprise considering they tend to share the non-offsetting nature of non-variegated schidigera (at least for me anyway).

Re: Agave talk & pictures
One of my big oldies outside is getting ready to blow - Agave salmiana ssp crassispina. I think it is around 27 years old. I expect it will sit there over winter then fire away in spring.

Nice looking plants, especially the offset being more compact so far.NorfolkExotics wrote: ↑Tue Nov 09, 2021 3:37 pm Here are both of mine.

Re: Agave talk & pictures
Paul that is a shame / amazing at the same time! Do they get huge spikes to match the rosette?

Re: Agave talk & pictures
How much is everyone watering their indoor agave at the moment?
My conservatory isn't going below 12 or so degrees currently at night and I've given my smaller plants a light watering today as they were looking very dry.
