Some more pics

Not sure where to start...I asked my neighbor if he minded if I get a closer pic of his Agave...
he said he was just getting ready to remove the pups and asked if I wanted some-lol

So I got some,one is not variegated...

Not sure if this is an Agave or Yucca-but look at all the pup/flowers

Awesome pics of agave angustifolia in bloom. Did you get any bulbils off the bloom stalk.?

Great score on the americana medio picta alba pups, I know they are your favorite.

I got lots of each!

Awesome, I have several of them each too and have been wanting to test the limits of their hardiness. Glad I decided against it this year.

That must be the best and biggest pic of Yucca rigida I have ever seen.

Jim, you're getting a nice haul.
May need a U-haul

Apart from those great shots being of some of my fav plants, the clear blue skies, lovely tile/stucco/gravel combinations (house styles/landscaping) makes such damned beautiful combinations.

Great shots Jim! Yep Barb I agree, the only problem is, if I were to move there, I would import Spuce, Oak, Maple....

Spuce, Oak, Maple.... icon_wink.gif

I'm sure the shade would be welcome.

Here's a screenshot of another place there...just pokin' around in your vacation spot, Jim!

I would live there Barb, but there wouldn't be ant washies in the yard. Maybe a few Phoenix Date palms and several hundred agave.

Oh yes CIDP's
I could finally plant my old one, and all the Medjools and Deglet Noors

damaged from lack of rain

What a shame, they get to that size and then people don't care.
I'd throw a bucket of grey sink water on 'em each day during drought.

The tall untrimmed yucca, I'm not sure what it is?
