As far as all of the plants in his greenhouse at the time of his death
... his family took a few of his personal plants, as did his grad
students. Several of us in the area, including a representative of our
small local botanic garden, tried to get permission to preserve some
things, but I was told by a reliable source that everything else was
trashed. I'll check his trial plots again in the spring, but last summer
the only Polianthes/Manfreda/Agave I saw were in the greenhouse, and
everything in there was suffering from severe neglect.
