You came home with a whole Aloe/Agave farm! 
Nice job. You definitely have some great things to work with and showcase. Do you have some special spot in your yard or landscape design in mind? Are you building a certain type of bed/area for them?
I'm loving those A. sebastiana, A. megalacantha (do you have any pics of this full size?) and A. glomeruliflora.
And yes...I hear you on the work stoppage and temporarily laying plans to rest. I finally got all the weed mesh removed from the back yard lake of fire. (Will confess. Called the neighbor who owns a landscape business to finish it for me. ). YIPPEE......my yard is 100% usable and I can dig and plant to my heart's content.
You would think that would be enough to have me out there jumping and hopping around with shovels and plants like a mad woman. Nope. Next 10 day forecast will be bouncing between 98-80. You figure that one out!
No rain predicted of course. Constant humidity. No cool down in earnest until November 1st. Grrrrr! Enough of this already. 
Oh....thank you so much for the I.D. on my Aloe and the suggestion on the Agave. Much appreciated. 
Have a great day.

Thanks AG, every time I go to the sales with the intention of showing some restraint and then I come home with a bunch of plants anyway...
Some I will keep in the staging area for now as I think they will take Full Sun and I have strong indications that my last Huge Agave weberi is going to flower this common year, so they will have to wait till next October to be put in the ground. The others are going in the ground where this years Agave weberi that flowered left me about 20-30 square feet of nicely shaded real estate to fill with new plants... So far I have put 6 Agaves and 1 Aloe in the ground in and near that area, with another 3 Agaves planned to go in the ground there for sure, and probably some more Aloes too. Two of the Agaves going in the ground there (one is already in) are going to be huge ones in time themselves, but that is at least 10 years down the road. By that time another mid-size weberi taking up some of the space will have gone to meet its maker creating space for the big ones to grow into. Once its all done I will post some pictures.
Here is a picture of the Aloe megalacantha from the summer of 2015. The big 'head' on the plant in the foreground is the one that got knocked off and is in the pot in the previous photo. I should have some more recent pictures, but my photos are organized up until last summer the rest are just sitting in one big folder so it is hard to quickly find specific photos. That is a project for a rainy day ;) . Right now my Desert Bird of Paradise has grown enough to obscure it, which is nice because it likes some shade, but means I have a harder time keeping an eye on it. So I noticed this morning that it is also working on some flowers.
Sounds like you got a big job done. Have fun planning out all the holes you are going to dig!
