Should more than ok in your climate in Portugal. But needs some tlc here in South West London.

This an Agave called Blue Ocean 💙, supposedly a cross of montana and gentryi. Hopefully a looker like baccarat, or just a very nice gentryi.

Lovely. It is quite big, Tina, but still has some growing left to do.

Not enough superlatives in my vocabulary for Melissa and Keith's garden (tu) (tu) (tu) :grin: .

Not yet. :sad: This type doesn't make many - a few when they are young but then they stop for some reason. I'm hoping it will once it is full steam ahead. Seed would be nice, too - rarely gets offered.
