Baja_Costero said: I believe this plant is actually geminiflora and not stricta, because the leaves are flexible (and on stricta they are pretty stiff). There are versions of geminiflora without marginal hairs (I have one) and this looks like it falls in that category. I would like to propose moving this image to the listing for geminiflora. Please speak up if you disagree or have any opinions.

Baja_Costero said: It is geminiflora. Greg Starr's book has a reddish purple plant as its main illustration. I have moved the image.
Baja_Costero said: Stefan, I'm sorry but the leaves are longer and much less stiff than stricta. The plant is a very characteristic hairless geminiflora. I will invite @mcvansoest to render an opinion here if he has one. And for what it's worth, I'm not sure that Agave stricta 'Rubra' is even a legitimate cultivar, given the wild type stricta tends to turn red on its own.
