我们很高兴看到到目前为止至少有9架龙舌兰，这将在2016年开花。上面是最近的照片Agave victoriae-reginaewhere you can see the bud forming in the center where the leaves have become reduced in size. While we lose the agaves after flowering, we are able to make crosses and create more new and unqiue agaves. We also share pollen with plant breeder Hans Hansen, who crosses them with manfredas to create some amazing mangaves as pictured below, which we are pleased to introduce for 2016
Mangave ‘Kaleidoscope’makes a superb container plant where it isn’t hardy in the ground. It should be fine outdoors from Zone 7b south.
Mangave ‘Moonglow‘ with its large dark purple spots is the smallest of the three. The foliage of all is incredible pliable unlike most agaves.
2016年的第三个介绍是Mangave ‘Pineapple Express’…这三个中最快的生长。这些将立即填充一个容器，非常适合夏季露台容器。
I had to look this up before I ask Where does polyanthus fit on the hybred scene .Are the manfreda/polyanthus hybreds of any interest? I suppose they are tender.
Polianthes (tuberose) are very closely related to both agave and manfreda and were all three successfully crossed together by the late Jon Lindstrom, but never introduced. If I was a betting man, I’d bet you’ll see some trigeneric hybrids in the near future.
我刚刚从植物乐趣中收到了6种植物的第一订单，其中包括龙舌兰“鲨鱼叮咬”，龙舌兰ovatifolia“ vanzie”和一个龙舌兰镍。尽管锅尺寸被列为3.5英寸，但实际植物尺寸却有很大变化。“ Vanzie”和Nickelsiae的尺寸合理。但是，最昂贵的$ 35“鲨鱼叮咬”的最宽度仅为3.5英寸，只有4片叶子。这些龙舌兰的生长非常缓慢。A.“鲨鱼叮咬”也比照片中描绘的植物要深得多。Plant Delights发布了展示质量，大型成熟植物的图片，以供所有植物清单。他们还应该显示一张您实际上将要收到的较小植物的图片。
Thanks for the note and the order. You are correct that the Agave ‘Shark Bite’ grows about 60% slower a plant like Agave ‘Vanzie’. Posting immature photos on-line would unfortunately be out of date as soon as they are posted. In many cases, our sales block of a rare plant will consist of 4 different age crops. We could also take an image one week and have someone purchase the entire two oldest crops late that week. We are always glad to take a digital image of the exact plant we will ship just prior to shipment. We are also glad to have the plants returned @ no cost to you and issue a prompt refund if you aren’t satisfied…just let us know. Thanks again.
