I have 200 Agave Seeds from this year (2023). Plant shown in picture is a pup from.the mother plant. Willing to trade for pretty much any other agave seeds. USA only.

Is this some kind of havardiana or parryi variety/hybrid? Anyone want to ID it?

Also, do you think it was self-fertilized or were there other agaves in bloom nearby?

I'm guessing it was self pollinated. I didn't see any other agaves stalks around. There were several other Pups around the agave.

Yes, I do. Around 300 actually. Keeping 50 for myself and donating 50 to local nursery. Hoping to trade 200.

Also did seed germination test in warm water and sponge. Changed water daily with fresh warm water. Seeds laid on sponge, not in water. Covered with plastic wrap. 9 days results.

Planted the 2 seeds that I had started in water on a sponge. Both seeds appear to have taken root and are growing well. Sorry couldn't get a good angle on both plants.
