I do, I do Brad,
I love Agave, especially those with broad leaves and toothy margins and glaucous look it great too. Mine are all grown in pots for the time being, hoping once I get my new C&S bed built to put some of the hardier types out. Gorgeous collection.

Brad,
Very nice. Alas my climate severely limits what agaves I can put in the ground. My collection of agaves in pots just does not compare. What an awesome display of agaves you have. Nice photography too. I recognize the truncata but am not sure of the other names. Can you list all the names? Phil |

Thanks Phil and Dan and Alex. I am blessed to have a climate that many agaves love, although the same can't be said of most cacti
2. Agave colorata 02/01/2010 3. Agave colorata 02/06/2010 4. Agave parryi truncata 5. Agave 'Mr. Ripple' leaf imprint in the rain with a fly 6. From front to back:
Agave colorata (R) Agave parryi truncata (L) Agave parryi clump I may have to move Mr. Ripple soon because he is getting bigger much faster than I expected. That is not a task I relish, because I expect he will take offense at the idea of being torn from his home. It is evident that he likes his digs very much.  I've got more Agaves that I'll try to add to this thread later. Brad |

Beautiful plants and photography as usual, Brad! I love the first 3 - the newest leaf in the clutches of the slightly older leaves. Great!
Katie

nice specimens and nice photos! the first one has gone by the name Agave 'Kichijokan' for quite a long time, and, as far as I know, is the currently accepted name for that cultivar. I believe the name 'Anne's Pygmae' would not be valid as it is using pygmae, which is a species name used for an Agave from Chiapas and Guatemala. If anybody is familiar with the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants, maybe they can clarify.
