Greg, do you have room for all these Agave flowers? I do seem to have made it sound as if you've had a tragedy. It is Agave flowers that should be sent. No...
I'd be happy to look at Agave flowers. Can't guarantee anything though. Especially if it's Caribbean or South American. Although, Trelease worked on the...
My apologies for another error: I did not mean "sigmoid"; the character of leaf I was thinking of was "reflexed", since none of these in the pictures are...
Hello Again Albert; Try Palmbob for a picture of a juvenile Agave caribaeicola. The teeth are very close, if the surface is not too shiney for you. Or perhaps...
P.S.: Maarten also has a couple of examples of more mature ones, but the margins are not clear, nor the center; but the form should give you a clue....
How did Agave get there isn't it a native of the New World. ? Norma ... From: edgreen1942 To: agaveforum@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, August 03, 2006...
Hi Norma; I don't know that they are A. carabaeicola; I'm suspicious that it might be that or a near relative, but probably not one mentioned in Gentry. Been...
Thanks for the response, Norma ... From: edgreen1942 To: agaveforum@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, August 03, 2006 10:04 PM Subject: AgaveForum Re:...
Hi all; I have posted some pics in the Temp folder. Also a pic there of my hardy (Netherlands) Hybiscus syriacus. I have not seen the white + yellow striped...
Hi all; Since short mods cannot delete the large seize of pics anymore, they can just delete the whole pic. We are at 96 % or such now. Pls delete all pics you...
Maarten, do you know if this variegated "americana" is hardy to 15 degrees F or less or only to the mid to lower twenties? If the former, it is likely A....
Hi; I cant say if its hardy because the guy puts them inside in winter. He has enough similar plants to leave one outside but then again its not the temp that...
Hi Maarten: Cok discussed the ingens picta on the agaveforum not that long ago. I just retired; I'm at home with a new, fast computer that's as slow on dial-up...
Please bear with me: Agave americana has been spread over the globe and by now has adapted to a great many environments quite different from its native home, ...
I just was surprised to hear that they grew naturally other parts of the world. I know they plant them for a cash crop. We also grow many plants from other...
Hi Ed. sorry that was not me. I do not grow the A. ingens v. picta.photo in THE AGAVES, BY August J. Breitung. but here I am in Honselersdijk the Netherlands.....
Hi Maarten this look like the A. picta Or the A. ingens v. picta the book photo like similar. ... From: maartenvanthiel To: agaveforum@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Hi, Why do you keep talking about ingens picta?? Isn't it a bit pointless? I think the "stange americana" looks like anything else - seen in light of I have...

Finding that is acceptable today - but talking about latinized subspecies is outdated botany anyway, no matter what the plant perhaps looks like. Regards, Kim...
I don't know how hardy other variegated Agaves are, but the picta can take a lot more wet and cold than any other I've seen. It seems a difference of interest,...
The calculation I've made makes that just under 20 degrees F, correct? If so, that's still colder than other variegates I know of and much larger and faster...
