Welcome to the forum! Feel free to start a member topic and show off your plants.
Strictly speaking, there is no scientific name for these variegates. Agave americana marginata.
Mediopicta has variegation in the middle.
There are more cacti in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

I too extend a warm welcome to you. It is nice to be communicating with people from all over the world.
I did have several Agave americana ssp. marginata plants in my back yard. They were doing really well and spreading. With the rare, smaller Agave species (A. victoria-reginae and A. parviflora) I did not have any luck, despite trying to grow them among my cacti at least twice each.
What other kinds of cacti and succulents do you already have?
