Re: [Aroid-l] Unidentified plant

From: santoury at aol.com on 2011.01.20 at 16:59:31 Guys, It seems like possibly an Agave stricta, however I cannot find any photos anywhere that show the flared leaf bases, nor does A. stricta have very long leaves. The leaves are almost 2 feet tall. I don't mean to be a doubter, but I'd really like to know what this dang thing is! She's been pretty easy to handle, actually - haven't gotten hurt yet!

And I think it is A. stricta. A very nice Agave, but I would nearly reccommend to wear protective goggles......
