Description.

One of my own hybrids that was produced by applying agave parrasana pollen to agave heteracantha. The pollen was collected from my parrasana in 2016 and preserved by drying and freezing. The pollen was then thawed out in 2020, rehydrated and applied to heteracantha. It's becoming a dangerous pass time pollinating these, working at height or reaching out of an upstairs window
