Greenhouse tour
Now that I've finally organized (well, mostly...) the greenhouse, I thought I would post some pictures.

Re: in the greenhouse........
Well that certainly puts my disorganized cobweb covered greenhouse to shame...
Very, very nice. I shall have to go and get my act together.

Re: Agave 'Blue Glow'
I'm still looking for snow and sun glows. You can get them occasionally on eBay but they go for stupid money (never seen one below £30 for bids) and then there's the issue of plants that are around £20, but just aren't big enough for the asking price. Some sources say it's good to -7 Celsius for har...

Re: Agave 'Blue Glow'

My plant(which is only.... 20-30 cm across) definitely shows that bac...

Re: Agave 'Blue Glow'
I got mine off ebay (well, not one but a couple....) under the name 'shaku Zulu' or god knows what, something along those lines anyway. Keep looking on there and you'll probably come across one eventually, at not too bad of a price. Or.... http://www.achat-vente-palmiers.com/en/search?controller=sea...

Re: Agave talk & pictures
That parrasana looks good. I finally got a fireball from the national show, but I've never seen a striated one before.

Re: Who is going to the National Show?
I should be able to go. Forgive me if I've missed something, but can you buy tickets on the day, or is it strictly booking only?

Re: An agave obsession
I bet there will be a lot with the likes of eau brink going (I think). I've set myself a £60 spending limit, don't know weather it will be followed though.

Re: An agave obsession
Sounds about right, I have them crammed in wherever I can. I don't have a load of space to put them in, but that still doesn't stop me. Buy first, think later.

Re: Agave Parrasana woken up at last
That's amazing, Agave spikes never fail to leave me in awe. How big is the plant? Mines 36 cm high and 42 across and I thought that was big, but yours seems much bigger. Guess I've still got a while to wait for a bloom by the looks of it.
