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.

Up date pics, winter 2010/09

neomexicana
not doing good!

truncata,
not doing good.

parryi,
had better days!

parviflora,
looks like it might die.

hybrid,
Doing good, little burn

parryi,
no burn at all, but had plastic over it. This is going to be a hardy agave 😉

Aaron, sorry missed this.
That A.parryi certainly did well last winter with only plastic over it.
Forgot what you said your absolute low was.

Bonus that it's also the best looking Agave!

nice recovery for some of those Agaves!! I hope you have an easy winter so they get even larger.

Those agaves did come back nicely. Are you planning on putting plastic over all of them this year until they get bigger?

I'm going to put plastic over all of them but the hybrid. It seems to be doing well enough and is bigger than it looks. So far it is the most hardy agave I have had in my garden. I hope winter is kind to it. 😐

I think it was -5.8F or -21C, what made it a bad winter is that things were still growing right before it got below 9F and then a few days later it was -0. And if that was not enough spring came very late. I lost cactus and stuff I had for years.

It was a bonus to have 2 cool agave survive such a bad winter. 😀

That's such a beauty, Aaron.

Not a blemish on leaf segments... 😀

Looks like the forecast for at least the next month is for warm temps, and it'll keep growing.
Hopefully late Fall, temps will drop slowly.

Is this the Parryi?

Havardiana has been a tough one for me.

Sorry I don't have a picture of it 😉
