Hello Banana friends,
I bought 3 Agave today (for $2 each!) They are all 'pups'. Id please!

The first one is Variegated, and I found a Variegated Yucca sign near it, but I dont think this is it. Too many differences.

Next, is one with fat short blue leaves

And lastly, Skinny leaves with a dark green color.

Any ID's would be great. Thanks everyone

The second one looks Agave Havardiana to me. Very hardy when kept dry
in winter.

First one looks like Agave angustifolia marginata. The second one is possibly A. parryi or havardiana like Ron said. Not sure on the last one. A. lechuguilla maybe?

Wait,and then wait some more. When they are larger or perhaps "flower", you may be able to figure it out for sure.....until then, satisfy yourself with taking your best educated guess!
Go to the site below and look at some of the great pictures.....it'll be hard not to order some seeds too!
