| The daggers on the tip of each leaf could be considered Lethal Weapons!!............... You don't want to tangle with this plant. Thought it could be an Agave.  |

| It is an agave indeed, and a very beautiful one. Let me go look up the name. |

| I'm pretty sure it is Agave parryi 'Cream Spike' |

Thanks, Hetty!  I just got a call back from the nursery that sold it to me (tag fell off) and they said it is 'Kissho Kan'. Does that sound like it? |

| Agave potatorum 'Kisso Kan' was one of the other options I considered, so - yes!! Great plant!! |

Thanks, Hetty!  I just hope it doesn't spear a hummer or some other unsuspecting passerby!  |

| It won't hurt the plant to snip off the sharp points. Just cut off the very tip and it's just like trimming fingernails. |

Thanks, Dave!  I will do that! |
