I'm guessing it's A. shawii based on google and seeing labeled ones in botanical gardens, so I could be wrong. This one does have a ton of pups... Not sure if shawii normally does that?Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14441140267067281722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1545670869571990833.post-82692994558823791052017-01-23T21:13:26.721-08:002017-01-23T21:13:26.721-08:00I noticed that some of the small pups on cream spi...I noticed that some of the small pups on cream spike are a lot less pointy that the main plant. Maybe it's something they develop as they get older? I hope you didn't get too much rain!Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14441140267067281722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1545670869571990833.post-81462897949112274322017-01-23T16:59:50.162-08:002017-01-23T16:59:50.162-08:00Beautiful Agaves, all of them.

I'm glad you're getting a good soak too. Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.com
