Agave, Spanish Sword variegated, Joshua Tree

Thanks to John's generosity, I have three new desert plants:

left to right: Agave "Dune" (nice stem on this one already), Spanish Sword/Bayonet (lovely variegation), and (drumroll)....yup, a long-sought-after Joshua Tree.
My camera doesn't do any of them justice.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Nice ones Barb! :D

The plant on the far left looks to be Aloe striatula and not an Agave, which stays low to the ground.

Ooooh, probably my goof (writing it down incorrectly).

Couldn't have been all the beer we consumed. :lol: :lol:
Thanks Barrie.
