Agave Parryi

I bought this Agave parryi about a month ago, wanting to post a photo of it now that it has been re-potted. I keep thinking about planting out in the front garden in the Yucca bed with the other Agaves, but I'm not sold on that idea.....yet. I had an Agave parryi that was about 24" wide and lost it in a bad freeze along with a very large Agave americana Variegata a few years ago, I was devastated. Since then I have changed my potting mix that I make so it drains faster. THE LEARNING NEVER ENDS!!!!! 

Love the blue color of this plant contrasting with the red spines that run along the sides of the leaves and that large single black center spine.
