Thanks, Chad! My turn is taking a pic. of my Agave to compare. I'll try do it tomorrow. Now it is 9.15 p.m. - too dark outside...
Actually it is so funny finding some unusual North American plants in the country that is so far away from there. There are not so many agave/yucca plants fans here. Many people like collecting cacti or some african succulents but yuccas... agaves... Noup!

Its kinda the same here on the east coast. In NC the biggest collector I know is Tony Avent of Plant Delights nursery. He may have more agaves than me. Most ppl on xeric world are from much warmer and dryer locations. I average about 45" of rain here which makes most succulents to tender for planting.
