Please help ID these aloes, agaves and succulents
Comments (1)Aloe #1 = Gasteria, possibly Gasteria lingua. Aloe #2 = Aloe maculata (formerly A. saponaria) Aloe #3 = I vote Aloe ferox, too. Aloe #4 == not the best photo but probably A. striata or a hybrid (there are many intergrades between this species and A. maculata). Agave #1 == too young to tell Agave #2 = also too young to tell but possibly Agave parryi Cactus #1 == an Astrophytum? Native succulent = Portulaca, Purslane, a weed Yucca #1 == could be Yucca elephantipes. Joe...See MoreAgave I.D Needed Please:
Comments (27)Hi wantonamara, Ok, Ive never known that J/H was a A. desmitiana, and as you can see I thought the one Stush sent me was a Sanseveria. Anyway Im not very good at the name game so I need to do more research on them and write notes. So the one Stush gave me is one of the A. desmitiana & the 2 nd one is another type of the desmitiana family right? Well Ive had a long day Ill just have me a good nights rest and start over tomorow and google some of these types, thank you for your help. Greg...See MoreID and care help-Thin leaf agave-like

Comments (7)Palmbob, thanks for the ID! I did a search for A. weberi and I think you got it right. Hey Stan! The majesty was moved and died! My parents decided to expand the front patio area and moved the majesty during the fall of 2015. The palm made it through winter, sulked through summer 2016 and finally collapsed and died at the end of summer. I have a couple of them at my place now but none are trunking yet like that one had. This one was in the ground for about 5 years in this spot. And the cyathea is about to throw out it's uber-large, spring fronds. It has several flushes each year, with summer fronds staying pretty small. Spring fronds get HUGE and cover the front walkway. It's cool to see progression of this yard over the years. It started with big water users like the queens, ravenea and cyathea, then slowly progressed to succulents and drought tolerant ground cover. The Syagrus looked terrible for about two years after we removed the lawn so we tried several options to help keep the roots shaded and moist. It's now a mix of aptenia and another ground-cover I can't remember the name of. The syagrus have had time to adjust to the change and finally look alright....See Morecactusmcharris, interior BC Z4/5
