I do not have any, just admire many photos and some I have seen for sale in a GH. Was very tempted to buy, but didn't mainly because of space. And I thought they could 'hurt' since they are hybrids of agave?

Do you have any Manfreda? (another parent of Mangave IIRC). From what I read above them, leaves are smoother. Maybe I am just confusing them? - I read that they are now placed in Agave - and that suggests pain, lol...

Can you post some photos of your plants?

Good morning, how are you?

Agave do hurt, but Manfreda (the other parent) is harmless, so most of the Mangaves are very finger-friendly. Some of them might be a little sharp, but nothing like Agave. Truly very pleasant.

I do have five Manfreda as well, but the Mangave actually are much more robust, and satisfying to grow.

Sure! I am going to try adding some pictures here. Wish me luck. :)

I have to upload each picture first to my "ideabook" - still learning the ropes here - but that is very laborious - but I did one for you. One of my favorites: Kaleidoscope.

Thank you. And for the photo too.

I upload photos from my files on laptop without any problems. Maybe if you are using phone or tablet posting photos is different...

I may not resist next time I see them at local GH, after what you wrote :)

Just tried to post again and nothing. Maybe the picture is too large.

Jude, save me a pup of that Kaleidoscope. Haven't seen that one around.

Looking good mate! What's the gorgeous Aloe tree next to the Mayan Queen?

That's a no ID that 'Vitorama(6b)' purchased for me. Almost like a Aloe Nobilis except it has nice teeth like dog molars on sides of leaves.
