Can You ID?
Dear Cactusblogger,
I live in South America, Surinam and work in a tropcal plants nursery
(family owned). I’ve been making a catalog of our plant for years now
(what can i say, grandpa’s been negligant), as we have well over a
million plants. I’m constanty running into a dilemma about an agave we
have. Whenever i try to categorize it i basically flip out!Is it an
americana, is it not an americana. Some sites say it’s an americana
others say it’s not. So, my thought was, perhaps you could help me. I’m
sending you a picture!Please help!Do you know the real botanical name?
Many thanks in advance,
Ira
Our answer after the break…
Ira,
It looks like a very nice crop of Agave americana, the species is variable, but that is what I think you have.
Take care,
Hap
