    Your 'thumbnails' aren't clickable. Can you fix that so we can see the full sized pictures?

    Regards
    Chris

    Much better! Thanks.

    It looks a little like Agave lophantha but maybe a hybrid with another
    such as A. bracteosa?

    It does seem to be some sort of hybrid then based on both descriptions. It's thick curvy form is more like that of A. bracteosa but stripe and spines are more like that of A. lophantha. Thank you Chris!

    perhaps it is an aloe and not agave?
