Re: Fero pics!
What a wonderful link, Vic, thank you for posting it. I just spent ages trawling through the database and discovered this picture of Nolina parryi, probably the best picture I have seen of what is probably the finest member of the genus.
Has anyone ever seen plants of Nolina parryi offered for sale over here, does anyone know? I have some tiny seedlings, but something a little larger would be nice. From my perspective, they would most likely be hardy enough to grow outside - most nolinas I have tried so far seem to be.

Re: Fero pics!
Glad you like the site Paul, the parryi certainly is an impressive plant and what great flower spikes, would look great in my garden. I've seen a fair few Nolinas but this one sprung to mind first, it's Nolina bigelovii in Joshua Tree NP, yes I would expect they'd tolerate our British climate.

Re: Fero pics!
I'm stunned at the variety of flower colour for some species!!
Certainly a great site which is now added to my faves!

Re: Fero pics!
Yes there's stunning aren't they Maria! This is one of my favourites, photographed on my very first trip to Arizona in September 2004:

Re: Fero pics!
Nice nolina picture, Vic. That's another species I don't have!
I currently grow longifolia (and that is a story in itself as there are two different plants going by that name. If not more... ), nelsonii, sp 'La Siberica', parviflora, matapensis, texana, microcarpa and beldingii.
I've seen a few Mexican ones, the finest of which is, for me, the as yet undescribed species Nolina 'La Siberica'. Also it is going to be the most suited to growing in a damp temperate climate as it lives at around 2500-3200m in pine woods in northeastern Mexico. I love the way the old leaves from that twisted petticoat.

I don't know about the USA, but in Mexico there are a lot of nolinas out there that don't conform to anything published. I've seen two first hand that must be new species, one in a nursery, one in the wild, with talk of more elsewhere. And, frankly, what has been published is often way off the mark, as is the case with N. longifolia.
