The Agave colorata is tiny but, as it's the only one of that species I've found locally, it was still a great find.<br /><br />I'm glad you got some decent rain. It's a sign of the severity of our drought when 0.25 inches is "decent" but you did much better than we did. Our total was 0.08 inches - better than nothing but not enough to make much of an impact, although I estimate it added about 80 gallons to my rain tanks.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574540292918761182.post-61991450255210677242016-05-07T11:46:11.421-07:002016-05-07T11:46:11.421-07:00They do well here, Diana!They do well here, Diana!Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574540292918761182.post-84211400951152698582016-05-07T10:16:26.572-07:002016-05-07T10:16:26.572-07:00Oh, all those fabulous caudexes!
