Re: Agave
Hi Gay - I thought the century bit might be an exaggeration. Our neighbor's
agaves have all flowered in the last three years - current one still putting out
the inflorescence on the spear - and I know they haven't been around for 100
years. Probably not even 40.
I've been meaning to tell you how much I enjoy your articles on Suite101. You
haven't mentioned to the Mediterranean listers that your garden was chosen for
garden of the month by BBC's Gardener's World, you shy thing.
Hope you're enjoying spring!
