Agave Americana "Marginata"

Ah, this is the same as the one we had growing near our gate and the babies were numerous, we brought one back and it's in the greenhouse growing. I used to snip off the spikes as they were lethal.

You know, I made an erroneous statement. The Agave are not really part of the cacti group. They are more closely related to the Lily and Amaryllis

I wouldn't worry about it Skippy; none of us here are very technical. I for one simply enjoy looking, oohhhing, and ahhhing.

me too...ohhh ahhhg. i.ve planted one of these outside. it just about survived last years mild winter....looks good again now but winter is comming...
