Very cool! It looks huge. What size pot is it in?

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

It is almost a giant Welwitschia (I thought it was, when I at first saw only the second picture)...!

To give us a better idea of the scale, how big is that wagon wheel?

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

Looks like Agave vilmoreana - the octopus agave!
A very nice plant. Smooth leaf edges so it is much friendlier than many agaves.

Yes, thanks for the ID, Shmuel!

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

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.
