What do you think? I was told this was a blue agave, but I have my doubts. It doesnt look like the pics I have seen on the internet. The leaves look shorter, fatter, and thornier.
Agave parryi I believe. http://tucsoncactus.org/cgi-bin/MySQLdb/DisplayCollection.php?Collection=Agave
They both look very close. Is there a way to tell one from the other? Looks like I'm going to end up with mezcal rather than tequila. That's what I get for trusting the guy at the nursery.
I believe Greerish's specimen is misidentified. Look at the page I linked to and you'll see photo's of palmeri and parryi side by side. Not AT ALL alike.
