Fathers Day Pride

 The Thursday before Father's Day I sent my son a plant request pickup as he was traveling to Dallas to enjoy a weekend with his friends. I did my nursery research by contacting Pam Penick from Digging fame, she told me to contact Michael with Plano Prairie Garden. Michael had a wealth of information available and I thank you so much for that. I was lusting wanting  a Agave parryi 'turncata' as it was hardy in Kansas. I emailed all the information to my son and he agreed to pick some up. He had all the info and locations of nursery nearest to him. So every thing was going according to Hoyle. Or something like that. I called, emailed, and text-ed on Saturday, no answer.
Sunday morning while in church I received a call which I couldn't answer. After the services I read my messages and my son had called and left a message that he had technology problems and had no list or locations of nurseries.
Egads. I called him after services and he told me the story. As he was leaving Rockwall to go home to Oklahoma City he pulled off the road at a gas station, as he had something his friend left in the car and they were going to meet them there. Across the street from the gas station was Covington Nursery, one of the nurseries on the list and he remembered I wanted an Agave. Cool huh? Needless to say, he got the last two Agaves that where half price. And a happy Fathers Day it was and a great ending to the story!
Unfortunately the plants had no labels.

I think this one is A.parryi-

I don't know this one. Any clues?

 Even though this is a little late I am linking this post with Diggings Foliage Followup meme. Enjoy.
