potosiensis
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.

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

Re: potosiensis
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?

Re: potosiensis
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.
