Although the title sounds like it, we’re not promoting a new Woody Allen flick. It seems that despite having 27 agaves in the garden flower this spring and summer, three more have taken leave of their proverbial senses, and started sending up flower spikes that won’t open until fall, including the top Agave x amourifolia which just started spiking this week. The others, including a second clone of Agave x amourifolia pictured below, started about five weeks ago, so are almost ready to open. This timing will allow us to make crosses, which could still mature if we don’t see an early winter. The ones that are just now spiking have little chance of setting seed or producing harvestable pollen.
