The NOID Agave is almost certainly A. americana var franzosinii, and the next one in your post is Agave pseudoferox 'Bellville', also from PDN, and the utahensis is var. eborispina, a gift from Pat Thompson of Secret Garden Growers (that's also where your v-r and gentryi came from).

Also like Gerhard, if/when my Agave 'Blue Rapture' makes pups, you can have the pick of the litter! <br />I did actually get quite a bit of ice last winter (almost an inch?) and the Lyonothamnus lost one 3-foot branch, then I judiciously pruned a couple others for balance. That plant just does NOT stop growing, ever! <br />Funny, after removing that Japanese maple, I've been eyeing several other plants for removal and it's looking like a lot more manzanitas are on their way in... <br />Thanks for coming over and I'm so glad to see those plants have good homes with you now!

Inner SE PDX and Milwaukie are in a nice wind protected area. The grevillea is gorgeous. I have a new Neil Bell from Xera, but that Ivanhoe is a beauty.

It's always hard to see gorgeous plants freeze. Susan's front rock garden is great. Lots of very cool plants here. I have a big Phlebodium as a houseplant that I purchased in a little 4" pot. It's grown quickly and is now 2'x2'. One of my favourite foliage plants.
