Say Hello, tell of any agave tales!! Name: Dee Moore City Arroyo Grande, CA Sent: 17.38 - 22/11 I bought my first agave 12 years ago. Since then that agave parryi has probably had a hundred pups! I have recently become a bit of an agave nut and have started a collection. It's great to find such an informative and fun site.  Name: City Nopala, Hidalgo Sent: 03.51 - 26/9 Hello. I like very much your page, I elaborate Maguey syrup with Agave salmiana and Agave atrovirens sap. I love agaves because they prevent erosion, retain soil, and provide us with food, fiber beberages etc. Mayahuel, the mexican deity of maguey is the prodigious mother that nurture humanity. as a moon godess, means fertility, and abundance, mayahuel brothers are the rabbits (tochtli), and her husband (Patecatl) the one who invented the pulque Mayahuel was a virgin in the sky, protected by her grandmother and her sisters, she wish to be on earth , under the sun, and Ehecatl-quetzalcoatl took her to earth,transforming mayahuel and himself in a big tree with two branches, the grandmother and sisters get very angry and seek for them, when they found them they ate the tree , when the grandmother and sisters return to sky Ehecatl quetzalcoatl pick up the bones and put them in a hole in the earth, and there a gorgious plant grows, the maguey.

Name: Sent: 15.54 - 24/1 Last June, my boyfriend asked me what I would like for my 20th birthday? I told him we could go to the Garden Center and pick something out. I work down the road from the Nursery, so I know all the workers. When we got there they told us they would make us a special deal on a 40 year old Agave, because any child that came in the greenhouse seemed to be drawn to it, and needless to say many children left crying! They made us a deal we couldn't pass up, $40 US dollars! The first thing the sales women said to my boyfriend was be carefull carrying it to the pick-up, what was the first thing he did, he stabbed himself right in the neck!
