Yucca in bloom

[Jay-Admin]

Had my camera with me today so i took some pics. Here's some flowering y. filamentosas.

Horrible thing to me on the Filamentosas, I had one given to me and planted when I bought my very first house. Had it planted on the NorthWest corner of the house where it got plenty of sun and lots of run off water.
We lived there for over 10 years and in that time it actually put out 5-6 babies all around it. It had a HUGE garden spider that lived in it every year and kept it clean of bugs. It flowered every year and sometimes later, the babies would flower.
When I moved last October, I thought I wanted to dig it up and bring it with me, but the wife told me I couldn't cause it wasn't in the contract, and that the new people will like it.
I drove by my old house in March and they had put up a dog fence and dug it up and threw it away. I didn't know who I wanted to take a board to the face more, my wife for telling me to leave it, myself for listening to her, or the new people for digging it up.

I know what you mean Kansas, I have seen nice sized trucking yuccas thrown away before, if I had only known they were going to trough them out

Nice pic Jay

When we sold our house 4 years ago, We put in the offer to purchase that my wife's 2 Peonies were excluded from the sale.

Then we didn't get possession of the house we were buying until 4 months later. After being dug up, temporarily planted and dug up later to be moved to the new house, the peonies didn't survive the winter.

She has never found the same multicolor flower since.

Some times you just can't win.

I just saved a trunking yucca. I believe it is recurvifolia. I will post a pic later.
It seems to be OK after the move. It was left to get demolished after a street close by has been rezoned to multi residential from single dwelling.
All the homes are empty now and all the plants are free for the taking.

GET ME ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wes North Van]

If I could find a way to get plants across the border I would get you one for sure. There are lot of filamentosas there too.
Jay, I checked out Maple leaf in both West Van and North Van and they have no more yuccas.
I will keep checking for you. What they do have is five gallon chamaerops humilis and five gallon cross fortunei / wagnerainus all for $29.00 each.
I think both palms would make it up there in Kelowna. You may have to protect the chamaerops but they are small enough that it would be easy to protect.
I'll post a pic of it later.

Thanks for checking Wes. That's a good price for the chamaerops and fortunei x wagnerainus. I think i'll be waiting till next spring to plant a fortunei and maybe try a chamaerops. Would love to a see a pic.

Regards,
Jay
