Gday from Australia

Post by Agave jase »

Hi guys Jase here, pretty keen to read posts and learn more about agaves, I have only a small collection at the moment like around 16 agave, I was always a cactus collector for a long time, I still have a lot in my outdoor gardens, I never even noticed agave before now, was just into cactus, I was gifted a dragon toes from my wife’s grandmothers old collection, and put it in the ground, it grew 3 pups , and after that I went on line to read about agave , and noticed how many different types there was , and thought there pretty cool plants, I now can’t Wait to add to my collection when I find ones I like on eBay, of fb , I’m even planning on building a shade house for agaves here, when it cools down around next march , anyway thanks for letting me join , I happy to be here to learn more about agaves ,
Regards Jason.

Welcome!
Agave
"American aloe plant," 1797, from Greek Agaue, proper name in mythology (mother of Pentheus), from agauos "noble," perhaps from agasthai "wonder at".
