However, this time I wanted to create a more complete listing so I did.<br /><br />Quite a few agaves at the DBG get at least some shade during the day. Others are exposed to the full sun most of the day; those are typically the species from harsher climates, often with gray or blue leaves.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-5524972488203131192015-02-11T11:25:00.626-08:002015-02-11T11:25:00.626-08:00I agree.

Thanks for the survey. I've no doubt it was a lot of work to get all those into a post and get the names straight. I think in Phoenix they most all need some protective shade, don't they? <br /><br />Good reminder to that a Genus can have some eye-catching thrillers, and some rather...meh.
