If only Mangaves weren't more available over here, there are so many awesome new hybrids appearing stateside. I'm thinking of starting a proper agave bed, most of my succulents have to come under cover over winter (many many Aeoniums etc!) but want to get going with some permanent plantings.

The Mad about Mangave lot have amazing set of plants, great that so many are for sale for you.<br />I think the mangave 'Spotted Dick' is a great name not sure it means that much to people outside of the UK.Spiky Obsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336642361281619338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238598581399721410.post-88987580225398136872018-08-06T23:35:01.017+01:002018-08-06T23:35:01.017+01:00Tooth Fairy and Kaledoscope are my favorites.

Mangave 'English Pudding' or Mangave 'Spotted Dick'? =D<br /><br />That espresso is magnifique! I've done some looking through that mad about mangave website and it's crazy to see all the stuff that's popped up. It reminds me of people crossing dyckia's. You've got a million different ones.Wil Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11911245180562558552noreply@blogger.com
