My agave must have been caught between the moon and NYC.....well not NYC as I live in Ft myers..but two large agave cactus decided to grow huge flower stalks....8 ft +....and flower. One is now gone....and the other one is still growing and hasnt flowered yet.
OP read up on the plants before you decide to plant any. Neither one is a cactus, the first is an agave succulent which grows quite large and has a short life, the second is a cycad and is frost sensitive.
Wit-nit the Sagos and agave do well in Texas. Tons of them around here surprisingly. We don't get hard freezes too often and many just get lucky i guess.
I've been growing sagos from seeds. Must be soaked and cleaned and they're poisonous. I think it's arsenic in them. I planted a ton of seeds in an old sandbox....nothing for 2 or 3 years then many sprouted. Squirrels and dogs and possums dragged the seeds around and some have popped up here and there. They terribly slow growing but can reach pretty good height as the stalk stretches upwards. They both are great looking plants.
Many varieties...
Nice overflowing collection, I see graptopetalums, sanseverias, I think a kelancho against the wall and what looks like a corokia in the far right back. I love sago palms, but they do not do well here on the far north coast, neither do gardenias, they may exist, but struggle to put on any blooms.

Thank you! I don't recall hearing the name graptopetulams but that's them. We call it and/or other varieties Hen & chickens around here. Probably mistakenly for these pictured. I've had a light green similar variety. Looks like I've grouped Sempervivum, Echeveria and Graptopetalum together as one family. Though I have seen the correct names at some time or the other. Thanks for pointing out that graptopetulams name to me.
Crassula is a more familiar name I recognize. I have a lot of Kalanchoe and yes, no Mother in law's tongue (snake plant) but the short variety of Sansieveria I call bird's nest (like Hahnii). I've never heard of Cahokia. I have so many seedlings going all the time and let so many die. It's a shame.
