Greetings from North Scottsdale

#1

Post by johnnyvee639 »

My name is John Voloudakis and I live in the foothills of north Scottsdale, Arizona. I am a retired landscape architect who has about 1,000 cactus and succulents across many genera, although I favor agave, aloe, and euphorbias, most in the ground and many in containers. Although my property is slightly less than two acres, only about 3/4 acre is landscaped behind the home's stucco wall. I have lots of agave and aloe offsets I would like to trade.

Greetings John, I am just on the other side of the McDowells.
Agave
"American aloe plant," 1797, from Greek Agaue, proper name in mythology (mother of Pentheus), from agauos "noble," perhaps from agasthai "wonder at".

Howdy! Of course we would all like to see some new plants on the Agaveville. Or old plants in spacious surroundings . Not picky.
