Will the real montana 'Chodai Ginyo' please stand up?
Comments (12)I'm back at this again. So these do seem to be more Montana (zero pods on scapes) but then I have another one I happened upon (it was an unknown) that looks almost the same but deeper veins and loaded w/ pods. Could that be Ginba???...See MoreOMG there are two of me!!! Will the real Decordummy please stand up.
Comments (9)I think it is more circular than that. Suppose you never had a Houzz account. When they converted GW to Houzz, you were automatically converted to Houzz. So when you tried to confirm your GW account, it said there was already a member by that name, and proposed to call you "username_gw". Even those who had prior and separate Houzz accounts were running into the issue. I messed up somehow trying to confirm my GW account, but managed to get in with my Houzz user name, which shows in my private profile. So I did what was suggested and put my old GW name in the public profile....See MoreWill the real Patriot please stand up?
Comments (13)That's very interesting Gary. I happen to purchase a good sized Francee just this year. I definitely see the resemblance when comparing Francee with Patriot #2 and Patriot #3. I see the wider margin, some slight cupping and a thicker substance. But Patriot #1 has a much wider margin, is a lighter green and has less cupping. So you are thinking that the reason for this is a different tissue culture batch. Thanks for your very good guess Jo! When you say "To my eye, Minuteman most resembles Francee and that is how I remember," did you see this in a nursery or someone's garden? I should put the Francee pot next to the possible Minuteman and take a picture to note the resemblance. I'll see about that tomorrow....See MoreWill the real Joe Hoak please stand up??
Comments (11)Proves my point. They may stay different then. Which is a nice thing. The one I have looks mostly like yours on the right. This is the mother plant that I got the yellow pup from. If you are a Agave collector like me, I have found Mountain Crest Gardens a good source for Agave and Mangave plants. Rare and very good prices. They are very small starter plugs but most grow very fast....See Morelinnea56 (zone 5b Chicago)
