You need a taller greenhouse Darren
I've not grown an agave from bulbils so I'll be interested to see how you get on with it.

That's some sight! Congrats
Looks really cool. Will it have enough time to finish flowering and produce seeds before the cold weather returns, and do these need specialized moths like most yuccas do?

Re: agave desmettiana marginata in flower
hopefully the wasps swarming the plant are sorting this.it is coming in over winter as it will produce hundreds of plantlets with only a possibility of seed too
