Agave parryi truncata, started by Carey at Southwest Gardens, has nearly doubled in size since planted in April. This is a faster grower that some, so highly appealing to those of us who struggle with delaying gratification (guilty). I love its icy blue tint.
Agave parryi 'neomexicana', nursed to the age of two by Kelly Grummons, has recently sprung three pups (two visible here). It's only been in the ground for year three and appears to love this high spot in the southeast corner of the front yard. Too bad the Aurinia saxitilis (or Alyssum saxatile, which, by the way is in a sorry state) is overshadowing it. I'll dig up that beast this fall in order to let the Agave take center stage. The ugly neighbor was not worthy of this photo.
