I have a question for the botanists among us.  Why do Agave americana
aureomarginata leaves become sinuous and contorted with age, while those of
the species retain their shape?  Also, although I've seen pictures of Agave
americana mediopicta in books, I've never seen it in gardens or in the trade.
Does anyone know why this plant is so seldom seen?  Does anyone know of a
source?  Thanks.
