Esperanza,
A. salmiana is a beauty!
I'll have to look for one. I just won't tell the husband the thing will get the size of a mini van
For some reason he seems to an aversion to plants that get larger than people, automobiles and 2nd story houses. Considering the modest size of our front yard I don't understand why?
Since you've grown this plant yourself how fast does it grow? I'd kind of like something that gets big or somewhat mature in a relatively quick amount of time the way my Octopus Agaves have. Does it pup as bad as all the other Century Plants or is it manageable? For some reason this plant looks considerable shorter than the A. Americana and seems less foreboding in terms of terminal spines and sharp edges. This makes it seem very appealing in terms that it could be de-pupped without so much collateral damage to one's self.
I'm going to have to look for this lovely! Good suggestion. So far I'm liking it.
Plantmanager,
So sorry I can't identify the cute little plant. I feel really bad it got eaten because it was a very pretty specimen.
Most likely Baja or mcvansoest could give a good identification. You may want to ask them. I've learned so much from them in 6 months so I usually bow to them in regards to identification, plant Latin names, growing tips and care.
