Cleistocactus winteri
Here is a rare sight in my neck of the woods, a C. winteri bloom. Easy to see why the controversy regarding genus. Bloom is really different from other Cleistos, also a peculiar cactus in that it's an autumn grower.
Agave
"American aloe plant," 1797, from Greek Agaue, proper name in mythology (mother of Pentheus), from agauos "noble," perhaps from agasthai "wonder at".

Re: Cleistocactus winteri
Beautiful species of Cleistocactus. I have a large Cleistocactus strausii that I have had for maybe 25 years now. It spends winters in my garage and summers in my desert garden.
