Agave guiengola. So beautiful, yet so fragile. I just cant keep the leaves from breaking.

The classic plain, non suckering one - and by far my favorite

you have some nice Agaves Mughal. :) I don't have that many, but Ron (German Star) has given me a few. They are doing well this year. :)

The teeth are beautiful as are the margin spines. (the spines at the tips). Nice plants, good growing :)

Very nice! In regard to the OP:

A. titanota = A. FO-076 (real A. titanota is blue)
A. potatorum 'Kichijokan' = A. isthmensis 'Kichijokan' (real A. potatorum is a larger, solitary plant)
A. patonii = A. applanata

Also, the true id of 'Confederate Rose" is unknown, but it is not A. potatorum. Probably best to just call it A. 'Confederate Rose'.

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

Thanks for the very useful information Ron. I'm actually looking for a real Agave titanota.

Agave potatorum "confederate rose" was actually identified as Agave guadalajarana cv. minor by a friend of mine. A bit confusing.
Yes, A.patonii = A. applanta

Thanks Peter. Hope they go good through the winters

A. 'Confederate Rose' is definitely not A. guadalajarana, another much larger, solitary Agave.

Mughal, they should be fine :)

And as for anything to do with Agaves Ron is almost always right, I'm just a novice :)
