Thanks Jim, the black Thai was in the ground but in an aweful spot and would not grow. So hopefully next year I find the perfect sitting for it.

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.

That bloom is total eye candy, Chad.

Everything looks so healthy in there...

Thanks Barb,
I have been hoping that keeping it inside would slow it down. Not sure I could handle a 15' bloom stalk right now. Fingers crossed that agave Mitis Nova goes into bloom this spring also. I would love a chance to cross the two.

A great selection of Agaves you have Chadec 😀 Am I seeing correct but is that $100 US for Agave Albopilosa? 😯

Thanks Andy and no you're not seeing wrong. That particular agave was much larger till it came inside and has since lost several leaves. I now have 7 albopilosas in my collection. Love those little guys. Now if I can just score a varigated ovatifolia, but everyone I bid on sells for over 450$ US.

You have lots of nice agave and yucca, there. I think I saw some manfreda, also. Those eucomis should be winter hardy for you. They have cool blooms that last a very long time.

Thanks,
This will be the first year for me actually testing eucomis, manfreda and crinum in the ground. I have always dug em up in years past. Hopefully they will be hardy, manfreda spot was blooming when the first frost killed it back.

Awesome collection!

I have seen a bunch of those Medio Picta Alba across the street 😀

I got a bunch of pups off one plant-one was even all green.

Jim,
I really love those media picta alba. They most certainly revert back to their non variegated form. If your lucky you can catch a plant with a full albino pup. You just won't be able to separate it. Made that mistake on a larger yellow agave. 🙁
