As far as proven winners goes, El Montevideo = A. ghiesbreghtii. Though they are variable. You can never be 100% sure with a lot of Agaves. <br /><br />The other possibility is 'Blue Glow', they can look pretty green in a pot, but the tips and backs look more ocahui.Hoover Boohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03083294821646284424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-4626030679924634042011-08-10T12:33:43.798-07:002011-08-10T12:33:43.798-07:00College Gardener, I've got mine (horseradish) ...College Gardener, I've got mine (horseradish) in a container along with my Tetrapanax. Big leaves! I figured that was safer than putting it in the ground, where it could go crazy. It's both pretty, and tasty!<br /><br />Grace, you totally should! And I didn't even mention the farm part of the store...so many good smells and pretty fruits and veggies!<br /><br />ricki, great point...they change so much in the transition from baby to adult.<br /><br />Three on Grove, thank you for mentioning the doughnuts! I completely forgot the farm side of the store!!! (one track mind)<br /><br />Lancashire Rose, for me getting the correct name on my succulents is vital. That way I know if they have to come into the house for the winter or can stay outside under cover. As for coming to terms...maybe you can just keep traveling until things cool down there!?<br /><br />Brian, are you Brian Bauman who commented below? I get that the name on the tag is just another Proven Winners make-up name but even when you look up Agave ghiesbreghtii there are still teeth and this agave clearly has no teeth!<br /><br />Mark and Gaz, thank you! Hearing that you guys are also a little obsessed (my word not yours) with this conifer makes me feel a little better. So please....take pictures! It will help me visualize it in my garden (gasp!) to see it in yours...<br /><br />g walk g talk, I did not. My budget didn't allow for it.<br /><br />Brian, thanks for stopping by and commenting! Your place truly is special...and I meant it about your staff! Every single one of them was amazing! I wish you weren't "so far" (it's relative) away from Portland, but I will definitely be back! I'm also looking forward to what bargain succulents you might bring to the 2012 YG&P Show!danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-91033046266369912622011-08-10T07:55:59.192-07:002011-08-10T07:55:59.192-07:00Brian Bauman here...

I've always liked this Conifer and the intensity of it's icy blue colour. I've got one and still pondering whether to plant it out or not (might not fit in with the overall scheme is my hesitation), I'm starting to get swayed into planting it soon.Mark and Gazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427245730390252976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-24351781823471641242011-08-09T23:22:30.739-07:002011-08-09T23:22:30.739-07:00Agave ghiesbreghtii.

The thing I want to know is, how come your zone 8 is so different from our zone 8 1/2 going on 10, 11, 12? How will I ever be able to come to terms with my own garden after all this color and cool air!Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-77392863028704173812011-08-09T16:49:02.276-07:002011-08-09T16:49:02.276-07:00I love Baumans.
