Again, thank you.

Flower Buds???
I have a couple of plants that often develop fuzzy buds that I assume will flower...but they don't. Below are two examples. The first one has never bloomed. The second one bloomed several years ago but that was it. Is there something that I can change too increase the chance of blooms? Thank you for...

mealy bugs ????
I'm located in Arizona and this plant is outside all year...100F all summer and 35-45F in winter. I've had the plant for about 10 years. I'm pretty sure that it is infested (again).

Re: Help ID please
Thank you all. It appears that this one is not so clear. One comment is that I'm not sure what you mean by "young". I've had this one for over ten years. I will continue to research until the answer is clear.

For the last couple of months I've lost several agaves after years of successful growing. The problems fall into two categories: 1. When the weather was really hot a few of them started to "rot" in the middle. When I pulled on the middle area, the entire center of the plant came loose and ...

Transplanting Agaves
A friend offer me three of her agaves. All I have to do is drive a couple of hours, dig them up and return home. As you can see they are quite mature. What are the dos and don'ts of doing this and maximizing the chances of a successful transplant?
