It's fine in a botanical garden but otherwise it looks like a tag sale. I remember some of them, otherwise I look back at prior blog posts. Blogs are handy for that ;). I also have a basket full of tags from "new" plants that I need to go through and record on my "my plants" page. That's usually a winter project but I didn't do it last year since I'd started working on the book. I have TWO YEARS (!) worth to record now...danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-37870566558764875902019-11-09T18:55:51.141-08:002019-11-09T18:55:51.141-08:00What an amazing collection!

"Tooth Fairy" and "Bad Hair Day". Looks like "Tooth Fairy" favors it's Agave heritage. I also like "Carnival" but is it true that it's no longer in production? or maybe I'm mixing that up with another Mangave. <br /><br />I have a few of the "Lavender Lady" Mangave planted outside - tho they have smaller leaves with more of a lavender hue and a bit more freckled then the ones you show above. I'm guessing because of a difference in sun exposure.hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06345461191452355465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-43950680095503014942019-11-08T18:55:52.450-08:002019-11-08T18:55:52.450-08:00You have a lot more mangaves than I thought!

I'm going to have to give it a deep soak soon. By my rough count we share 9 cultivars. You have many I don't and I've got 5 I didn't see in your inventory.
