Re: Your favourite Aloes and Agaves ???
Hi Peyton,
Your A. gypsophila looks great. Mine is about the size of the offset at the front of your large rosette. Seems from your plant that this pups readily. How big would you say your largest rosette is, roughly?

Hi Peyton,
Your outdoor plantings look brilliant. I'm dead jealous.
I've got some plants outside but they're all in pots and need to be relocated into the greenhouse during the winter.

Re: Your favourite Aloes and Agaves ???
What's the big green Aloe(?) in the centre of the last pic?

Re: Your favourite Aloes and Agaves ???
Colin,
My gypsophila was roughly 36" (91cm) across when the pic was taken last summer - unfortunately I was caught unprepared for an early hard freeze last fall and was unable to cover these plants in the 20 mph+ winds at 27F and now that same gypsophila is about 24" across but recovering nicely.
BTW I used to put all my plants indoors for the winter too, with everything outdoors in pots for the summer. About seven or eight years ago thieves stole almost all of my plants one night, and as I began to rebuild my collection I decided to start planting stuff in the ground thinking they would be harder to steal that way. I was pleasantly surprised by how much better most plants grew in the ground beds rather than in pots, so now I have seven outdoor beds in the front yard and nothing more has been stolen...
I also built a greenhouse in the backyard after the big theft, so it stays full most of the year now.
Tina,
The feeling is mutual, as I have been coveting a little "OHI RAIZIN" like yours for years.... Agave werklei does not pup, and rather than wait for bulbils on a flower spike I am considering cutting one up for propagation, so if you ever want to trade a pup....
Your utahensis is really great - I find these very difficult to keep alive here, even in the greenhouse.
Phil,
The big green one is Aloe vanbalenii last summer - when I planted it in this new bed it went nuts and is now about two meters across. This past winter it made seven flower spikes:)
Thanks everyone for the nice compliments!
And I really enjoyed seeing all the agave pictures everyone posted.
