The All New Official "I Have Pollen" Thread

[Xanthoria]

Agave tequilana "Sunrise" bloom emerging now if anyone's interested.

[Melt in the Sun]

Stalk emerging or flowers starting?

I've got A. nizandensis that should be popping flowers open any day now. I have some mangave pollen in the fridge that's a couple weeks old...hopes are not high. If anything else is out there I'd love to know!

Spike up, flowers soon!

[Gee.S]

There may be some ploidy issues there, and you may wind up with bulbils.

[Xanthoria]

Then I will be overrun with Sunrises!

I tried hybridizing Nova with a similar cultivar, A. angustifolia, and lots of seed was produced, but it was 100% inviable.

[Xanthoria]

Sending up stalks:
A. Angustifolia (non variegated)
A. Weberi Reiners Selection
A. Siselana
A. Parryi truncata
A. Xylonacantha or Univittata

Flowering:
Beschorneria albiflora
A. Lophantha

Is that a subulata on the left of the last pic? that will keep the bipedal vermin away!

[Xanthoria]

It is. And: Oh believe me - it does!

[abborean]

I have variegated desmettiana pollen if this thing is still going. Am going to freeze some for later possibilities here this spring. My zebra has been throwing those little flower stalks around its base since late last summer.

[Pfancy]

I have an Arizona a that’s stalking. I’m in the west valley.

Stalking now: Agave stricta, agave celsii "Multicolor", agave gypsophylla and agave tequilana "Sunrise"

[MockingbirdAgaves]

Looking to also hybridize my colorata . Would like to find some pollen willing to split the seed with who ever can help me
Out with pollen. Looking for something cool.

[Xanthoria]

Stalking now: Agave stricta, agave celsii "Multicolor", agave gypsophylla and agave tequilana "Sunrise"

Also a. weberi “Arizona Star”

[mcvansoest]

It would be interesting to see if you actually get viable pollen from that weberi. I had multiple regular weberi's bloom and none ever produced pollen that I was able to harvest.

[Xanthoria]

I don't intend to hybridize my agaves personally, but only offer pollen.

Total list now stalking: Agave stricta, agave celsii "Multicolor", agave gypsophylla, agave tequilana "Sunrise", agave weberi “Arizona Star” and now agave vilmoriniana
