This one stood about two feet tall and almost as wide. The leaves were covered with a white powder that didn't brush off very much when I touched it:
I went to the Arizona Garden at Stanford University not long ago. I'd been there a few times before--it's a wonderful place to check out all kinds of agaves, cacti, and crassulae especially. Soon, I'll post a few more pictures of my most recent visit. But first, I was wondering if anyone can help me identify these two agaves. I didn't notice them on my last visit (perhaps I was less agave-aware then?), and they both caught my eye immediately. This one stood about two feet tall and almost as wide. The leaves were covered with a white powder that didn't brush off very much when I touched it: This second one is also gorgeous. It actually looks a little like my agave blue glow, both in the blue-green color of the leaves and in the outlining of the leaves--except that instead of being outlined in red like a blue glow would be, the leaves of this one were outlined in white. Can any agave aficionados out there help me out? I'd love to know what these are!

Here's my educated guess: 1 Agave titanota. 2 Agave horrida ssp. perotensis. More sure about #1 than #2. How large was #2? Comments are closed.
