Re: Agave talk & pictures
The drybed is waking up, signs of growth over the winter. I'm chomping at the bit to the day when the shelter is dismantled for another year.

Re: Agave talk & pictures
Agave havardiana is a good call, its one im trying to source.
Other Agave id recommended is parryi ssp parryi, huachucensis,.
Agave bracteosa is very resilient too.

Re: Agave talk & pictures
I've got a few hybrids that could be interesting Ovatifolia x salmiana, picture of the mother plant, not my smaller plant. Should be a tough agave for our climate.

Re: Arid bed winter shelter
