Re: Agave talk & pictures
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 .

Re: Agave talk & pictures
Not yet. 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.
