WOW. Those are some fantastic photos. Are all those plants in one garden?

Yes, they are all at Plantasia Cactus Gardens a private owend garden(5 acres

).

You where asking about Y. faxon, he has a few and they are doing very good. We also talked about taking a drive to that subdivision in Boise. Looks like we might go later this season. He said he was there not long ago and said all the big yuccas looked good.

Beautiful pics Aaron, gorgeous to see them starting to flower.

Soon your big one will do that too.

Always great pics from that cactus garden nursery.

You've got a big project going on your house, great weather for it finally.

Might be cool to cross with Rostata if possible

That would be cool. Can you freeze the pollen?

Funny that we talk about a Y. Brevifolia x rostrata hybrid. Clary's DNA research determined brevifolia is most closely related to rostrata.........i wonder if this combo would work. All reports suggest brevifolia cannot be hybridized with other Yucca.

Thats funny Tim.............

That was just off the top of my head and wouldn't that be cool!

I wonder what it will look like,they should have a computer program for that like they do with people.

Hi Aaron,

not too sure about freezing Yucca pollen. I've kept pollen in the fridge but not the freezer. Perhaps Benny's got a web page on that??

Hi Jim,

I'd love someone to try a Y. brevifolia x rostata cross.....very cool.
