Agave vilmoriniana

Agave vilmoriniana

Agave vilmoriniana, or octopus agave, has made a recent appearance on the UBC Botanical Garden Forums in this “stumpers” thread (stumpers are a game to challenge people's plant knowledge). Scroll down the page to see photos of a 2.5-3m (8-10ft) tall plant in its entirety, though after the flowers have senesced.

I would like to give credit to Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Clark of Ventura, CA, the owners of these fine specimens.

Someone could have mentioned the formatting problem in the past eighteen hours, methinks.

Daniel;

I noticed the formatting problem, but am such a computer ignoramus I thought it was my computer or you had just changed your mind about how to present it!

Daniel Mosquin commented:

Thanks bev, fair enough. I do make mistakes on occasion, though!
