Re: Cool Agave
It is indeed huge, but I can't say the size exactly. The upper leaf is taller than me ...

Re: Cool Agave
guys, sorry, I just went to my friends house and took the picture, but I dont know the sizes of the objects... But I'm sure the upper leaf is taller than me (1,70m)...you can imagine someone next to the plant to get an idea of the size. Next time I'll take a picture with some scale and publish here in this post
Re: Cool Agave
Looks like Agave vilmoreana - the octopus agave!
A very nice plant. Smooth leaf edges so it is much friendlier than many agaves.

Re: Cool Agave
Agave vilmoriniana - apparently misspelling is common. Never would have found it without Shmuel, though, I've never heard of it before.

Re: Cool Agave
Thanks Spence. I always get excited when I can put in a useful comment. As for spellin -
Like I said elsewhere, Daiv has enough to do till he comes up with a latin name spellchecker...
A great "miniature" of vilmoriniana I recommend Agave bracteosa. Great in pots, especially if you don't have much room.
