I'll bet it'll be quite happy on the gravel mound. Good to know about the organic treatment of fire ants. I'll have to try that next time.Pam/Digginghttp://www.penick.net/diggingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-87692578397941823842009-05-25T11:17:18.755-05:002009-05-25T11:17:18.755-05:00Donna - it does look very much like a yucca but I've always had in the back of my mind that it was an agave.<br /><br />Maria - thank you for the ID. I googled it and it indeed looks like that's what it is. It hasn't really adapted to this soil yet since it just went in. But it adapted to its pot quite nicely. :-)Jeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10111150807638669133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-61052105194079934422009-05-25T04:16:38.746-05:002009-05-25T04:16:38.746-05:00Hi,<br /><br />It looks like an Agave Multifilifera. They come from Mexico. It looks like it really adapted to your soil, they are usually found in the hot, dry, and arid soils of Mexico.<br /><br />Maria Pellum<br />Plainfield, NJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-83196081041855819502009-05-24T22:25:20.245-05:002009-05-24T22:25:20.245-05:00My first thought was some kind of Yucca. Does it bloom?donnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06950476333013336671noreply@blogger.com
