Marlon,
'Holy Crap on a Stick'. I heard that saying and it sticks. What a collection. Took my breath away. Up here in Pennsylvania, we have highs in the low 20's and single digits lows. Also add a few inches of snow powder. Thanks for the pictures to remind me that spring is/will come.

Yes thanks for the pics!!! Great collection there of a great variety. I like that blue powesii too! A lot of other nice ones there also. I think I see a S. kirkii 'Silver Blue' in the right of the top photo also. On the bottom photo, what is the small plant on the left side with very light/white mediovariegation??? Is it a Sans or an Agave?

I wish I had had the room to keep my collection in that condition. I can't lift them now, they are all mature. They weigh more then I do. I should put 3 growths in a gal. pot so they would look like that and toss out all old growth. It would take me a year to do that, and I don't have the room. I would need a new green house. I just love your collection what is the big grey one in the middle of one picture. I notice that you indicate that 'Boncel' is a hybrid, I thougt so, it doesn't have a Latin name. Thank you for posting the pictures I really enjoyed seeing such a lovely collection. Norma

You have a beautiful collection with an amazing variety of sans! It makes me want to add to my collection... which currently consists of one sans.

Marlon,

Thanks for sharing your plants with us - the beautiful chunkiness is awesome to behold.

Thank you all for your nice comments. Woodnative, the plant that you think is S. kirkii 'Silver Blue' is in fact a form of Sans. scimitariformis. The plant with white variegation is a small pup of Agave americana 'Mediopicta Alba'.

Hi Norma, I believe the big grey one you refer to is Sans. powysii. 'Boncel' is not a hybrid as far as I know, but a mutation of Sans. cylindrica var. patula.

Best regards,

Marlon Machado.

Marlon,
All I can still say 'Holy crap on a stick'. (CG)
Jeff,
Nice of you to come in. I through you might have gotten rid of your sans collection. Nice to have you back.
Chris,
I had a very large Agave americana 'Mediopicta Alba'. It is very slow to pup. It got frozen 2 years ago and lucky I found one pup from it. 2 years and it is about 4 inches tall. Very slow to get establish. I will watch this one from now on. Never knew about this gritty mix. If so I think a frost alone might not have had this bad of a effect. That plant cost me $40 for a med. size pup.

Nice collection, nice "family" group shot. I'm thinking of taking a family picture of mine but they are scattered all over the place. You do have a nice collection of more unusual plants. Love 'em all.
