Agave.....almost in flower

Well, it's almost there. This has taken almost exactly a year to get from lump at the top of the plant to ready to flower. I'm pretty convinced that this is a Montana.

I can't seem to get the image upright, so my apologies for the need to neck crane!

Agave titanota black shark shoui

Just arrived courtesy of eBay. Another rare Japanese cultivar as claimed or another tissue culture agave? I love it and have not seen another one similar for sale anywhere. It's got a bit of superficial damage but that should soon grow out.

Regards

Agave havardiana and Yucca gloriosa

I finished my arid bed in the Spring and misplaced the IDs for my two of the bigger plants .... just found them!! Agave havardiana and Yucca gloriosa. I would really appreciate a few snippets of advice, particularly overwintering. My intention is to cloche them to keep dry.

Agave angustifolia marginalia - hardy in the uk?

Hi, I have been given a small offset and was wondering if anyone had one planted in the uk? Amrulee are suggesting that it handles cold and wet winters well, but I am sceptical.

Thanks, paul
