I spotted this guy at the HPSO Fall PlantFest and then watched as a young couple debated the purchase. I was thrilled when they decided to take it home. I hope they're careful removing that little pup.

I bet there are even more pale ones circling inside the pot! Glad the Agave found a home.
ReplyDeleteYes, I bet you're right.
DeleteAgave lophantha seems to send out pups freely (kind of like bunnies). I recently repotted a A.lophantha 'tricolour' and had more pups than could find homes for. Love to keep them all but space is at a premium over the winter.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how some agaves are more productive than others?
DeleteDon't think I've seen this before but maybe because I don't see many Agaves. Kinda sweet.
ReplyDeleteI've unpotted agaves to discover umbilical cords (I can't help it, that's how I see them) circling the pot multiple times trying to find a way out. It's pretty amazing, the little agave leaves at the tip.
DeleteIt is amazing that they can dive down so far and find a drainage hole to emerge from ! :)
ReplyDeleteAgaves are amazing!
DeleteThat species is the hound dog of succulents in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed at how many plants a happy Agave lophantha can make.
DeleteI love it when that happens! That's one situation where I don't hesitate to cut away the plastic pot.
