I'm wondering how much cold it's survived over the past two winters, whether that would be any help in identifying it?<br />Glad to see you like the weather diary idea too; I did mine for just the same reason: I knew I would keep it up on the blog. Besides, it gives a quick reference point for viewers to understand what the plants are responding to during the different seasons. <br />My Favs post turned into a two-day marathon thanks to very slow internet, but here it is at last...: https://www.smallsunnygarden.com/2016/12/31/a-december-favorite-hamelia-patens/Amy@SmallSunnyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490564566463354419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-44696612255983760332016-12-30T18:31:13.344-08:002016-12-30T18:31:13.344-08:00No help but that is absolutely spectacular!

I believe that it can be solved in this manner. There are two distinctly different plants that are both correctly identified as Weber's Agave. The plant that you have is what I believe to be Agave weberi. However, there is another species of "Weber's Agave" which is correctly identified as Agave tequliana 'Weber's Blue'. This variety has thinner, rigid and more upright, blue leaves (blades) that have less pronounced black thorns on the blades. I am certainly not proclaiming that the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix has misidentified their specimen. However, based on my horticultural knowledge, I believe that you do indeed have a Weber's Agave. You can do the research on your own to determine the differences. Have a safe and Happy New Year's.<br />Rand DrHuckleberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16050240173049538223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-35872322750104430662016-12-30T11:14:54.887-08:002016-12-30T11:14:54.887-08:00P.S.
