Yes they are beautiful plants, and have a bluish tinge.
I received them, last year, from a neighbor. I planted them there temporarily. They are a bit cramped.
The neighbor said that the mother-plant was brought by his parents from Arizona, many years ago when they moved.

I had intended to move them elsewhere. Only it's a problem. One very sharp ... problem.

Nice texture ... but more dangerous like Opuntia's spines.

I'm a little confused ... now I do not know where to move them in a place that is not dangerous. So for moment, the safest place is where I planted them temporarily. There are more isolated. Shrug!
More, nice leaves ...

but have sharp teeth ... that make difficult to pull out the weeds.
I can't say I don't like them, just they are more suitable for those who have more safe room. About Opuntia all persons know to have care, but the sharp of Agava leaf tip are not so visible and so known.
