Agave desertii For Sandra...

Lovely little plant DD , I have agave americana which had babies last year,lol, quite worried about them this year in my unheated greenhouse but have come through the cold without flinching, even the babies.

Another, just wonderful.

healthy looking specimine....

Simbad, hope yours survive the winter especially your babies.....
Greenthumb you like spiky plants then? lol
Sandra I was pleased with the quality. I hope to see a vast difference in them as they grow.?

im looking forward to watching with you DD...

Lol. I love the shape of these, the symmetry, I'll put up with the spiky. :-)

i have corks on my big ones...save the injuries...lol

Sandra I used to do that with my big ones, reading my American book the author grows lots of Agave and she cuts the spikes off!!

They are pretty lethal aren't they, you ought to have seen me trying to repot mine this year,lol, had to break the pot in the end (luckily only a cheap one, the one its gone into isn't though), good idea DD never thought about cutting spikes off.

ive cut a few spikes off mine, too.

When ours get bigger I shall have to cut them off, too many grandchildren on the loose....

Not grandchildren with me(or better not be for a while) just one pretty silly labrador who has to have his nose in everything,lol.

But dont you just love them, we used to have labs, smashing dogs, great nature.
