Re: I may regret ordering this plant ....


I love those!!!!! There was one huge one in the caribbean a few years ago where people had carved their names into it. It's just the kind of sculptural plant I love - sadly with 2 little kiddies I'm going to have to wait a while before I can get one!

Look forward to seeing pics of it in situ, DM.

Stunning plants; I've seen them here at the botanical garden; but do beware of those spines! HEAVY gardening gloves! If you decide you don;t like it, maybe you can make a small batch of homebrewed tequila...

Great idea!


I'll keep the agave in a pot, so i hope it won't get too enormous!

Well, Dinah and I got back from our walk in the woods (lovely) to find we'd been left a parcel



Opened it up - packed very securely



And here it is - Dinah is making friends!



And again



I'm going to call him Spike!

What a great plant.

I'd love one of them but even a small cactus is driving Timmy mad, he keeps trying to bat so he wouldn't stand a snowballs hell in chance with something like that
