I have this same problem with Altman's labels (and I'm growing this same small, sorta charming, clumping, glaucous, blue agave sold as 'parrasana').
As I learned more, at first I was shocked at how many plants were mislabeled. Now I just chuckle and feel superior. [
Come on, you know you do, too.]
Then I ask myself, would I like to receive a
guess from the seller (in the form of label with a 10-20% chance of being wrong) or a complete
punt in the form of a label which says:
Congratulations! You have bought a SUCCULENT PLANT. Plant in well drained soil and allow soil to dry between watering.
$93 million, eh? That's some scale.
