Agave (?) ID Needed
I'm hoping someone can tell me what this is right off the bat. I took a pup of this from a mature plant beside a shop in Tubac, AZ. I think I recall that the mature plants were about 12"-18", but I remember little else.
Thanks for anything. John Hixson

Agave lophantha I'd say.
Re: Agave (?) ID Needed
I wish I could help with what it is, but I do not think it is A. lopantha. A. lopantha has some variations, but it always has light "teeth".
It’s not the fall that kills you; it’s the sudden stop at the end.

Harriet-
By 'light teeth' I assume you mean a light colered edge to the blades and the spines, not the reddish colored edge/spine in my photo?
Thanks.
