Agave sp. 'Mr Ripple'
D13-74 — Zone 7b to 10— Mexico
Mr Ripple! If you want a plant that stops traffic, this agave is for you. It has already stopped traffic once. While traveling from Cuidad Maiz to El Naranjo, Carl and I were conversing about plants when suddenly I yelled out "stop the car," for I had just seen the most awesome agave and knew it was one we had to have. It is a medium-sized agave that looks almost like a cross between A. salmiana and A. protoamericana but with broader leaves and a soft satiny texture. Each gray-green leaf twists and undulates - almost a reflection of the leaf next to it, giving the whole plant a-ripple-in-the-pond effect.

Notes and observations about this plant
- Admiring Fans by Fred siler
- ...get lots of people admiring this one. It undulates. It has two offsets and I can not wait to propagate them. IT is doing well in this wet Winter of the Upstate of SC (Posted on 12/1/10)
