Hi Xeno. I am surprised by the pics at RBG. All the pics and the actual ones of Agave titanota I have seen do not really look like the ones on the San Marcos site. I just read your old threads. So what about the thorns are a dead give away? I guess the thorns in the RBG pics are so staid.

I just bought an Agave titanota. It has some serious issues with the older leaves but the new leaves are spectacular. So you think mine is really a Agave Felipe Otero?

It kind of looks like http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=3165126

So Agave 'Sierra Mixteca FO-076' is Agave Felipe Otero.

I am going to see Brian today but he is so busy with getting ready for a sale I do not want to push my luck and bug him at all. PS PalmBob I have not broached him yet about your pretty blue agave because of the sale.
