Re: variegated Agave victoriae-reginae

Dear Maarten,

Its good to see that somebody else have had the same revelation and is trying to sort out the mess. Commercial growers are not making things any easier by coining invalid Latin for names for new cultivars. It would seem that we will be stuck with Japanese names for many of them if American growers don't get their act together.
