# In my so-far failed quest for the Myrtillocactus geometrizans that is…

_Posted by Dave\_opuntiaface on 2025-01-13_

In my so-far failed quest for the Myrtillocactus geometrizans that is repeatedly showing up at the big blue box stores in many of your towns, I found a couple stunners amidst the mountains of Echeveria (no offense). Agave filifera ($5) and Euphorbia resinafera ($20)!

I found two and kinda kick myself for not grabbing both.

Very nice! Your plants are looking great. There are a lot of agave I would like to have but I stay away because they need so much light and they are sharp

#### Dave\_opuntiaface replied on 2025-01-14

Thank you so much. I think I have enough light, but they are so slow-growing.

I have one of these agave outside in the ground. It recently received some ice. Thought I would share.

That's rad. Once I got agave on the mind, I see them everywhere here - including under snow.
