Description.

One of my own hybrids that was produced by applying agave sobria pollen to agave parrasana that was in flower. The pollen was collected from a friend's plant using cotton wool wrapped around the tip of a long cane and was then stored in a refrigerator at 4 Deg. C for a few days. It seems to have produced 2 different forms both of which are offsetting.

The Parrasana Gallery has images of this host plant starting with the first signs of the emerging flower spike through to flowers and seed pods. It is a compact form of parrasana that a freely offsets.
