Heres a picture from 3-17-09-notice how much the Agaves have grown(-:

You can barely see the Y.Rostrata and the Blue Parryi straight to the left of 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.

I think most people think of Succulents as slow growing but some of the Yuccas
have outpaced the Bananas in regard to leaf production.

Except the Abyssinian.....The Havardiana(big one on the left) has put out
12+ leaves and I think the Parryi more than that!
