The pics I promised. All sibling seedlings, 2007 from Mesa Garden. The large is the classic form, roots allowed large container, the others restricted, but germinated together. I love these variants, too.

Nice! Hey, you don't need all those, have a look at my trade list, and pick out two or three you might want to trade one of those little guys for. :P
Agave
"American aloe plant," 1797, from Greek Agaue, proper name in mythology (mother of Pentheus), from agauos "noble," perhaps from agasthai "wonder at".

What a wonderful list! Back when I could've found Cedros in the fog it would have been for sebastiana; the frailensis is hard to find, even seed; montana, parrasana, I'll make a song if you'll take two and a flexispina, too. If you are to bloom one, you'd better two for the sake of variation, since they are a breeding pair, blooming at the same time. Which do you want?

Oh, one will do just fine, space is at a real premium here, though I suppose I could plant two side-by-each. In any case, we had better wait a month or so until the cold is less threatening. The A. sebastiana pup is small. Naturally, some of the pups I have are bigger than others. I have some really nice A. titanota pups (Rancho Tambor), A. ×glomeruliflora pups are also nice. How about A. xylonacantha or A. parvidentata if you want something unusual? I can definitely hook you up with A. parrasana and A. sobria ssp. frailensis, or even ssp. sobria. Go through the list at your leisure and pick a few names that picque your interest and I'll post pics.
