Andy,
I am in HK now. I went to the flower street a few days ago and still see the variegated agave there. Will try to take some pictures tomorrow.

Also, I saw lots of big variegated & cristated c&S.... the plants make me drooling.... but when i looked at the price... HKD198 per pot... i shy away.

I will try to take some photos when the owner is not looking. Most of the sellers do not like ppl to take pictures of their plants.

Not really cactus.... but look nice to me.

Re: gila c&s
 

The plant in the first pic looks interesting. What is it? A pachypodium? Not cheap too...huh!:crying:

2nd pic looks like tetsudinaria elephantepes (if my spelling is right).
Thanks for your preview.

Hi Andy,
My guess is like yours. But there is no ID labelled.
A few more to share (did not buy any as price is high)

Some people like to walk a dog while others like to walk a python

The poor python is almost PK (KO)/ belly up....

I think the python came up due to the recent evening rains. May be colder night makes the python look for some where warm but obviously wrong place this time.

Luckily our Indian friends are not into Snake Congee or Snake Herb Soup
