Tim, how very very nice.
With each photo, I find a fav...and then revise selection with the next photo 😆 😆

The most beautiful blossoms may be the Filata #5...stunning.
And those tall ones...

My yuccas are still slow--only about one-third open. 😐

Thanks for the great photos.

Great bunch of yucca blooms. The one I like the most is filata#5, awsome flower spike! 8)

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Some nice yuccas there Tim 😀 Ive been following your progress on one of the German forums. BTW most of those Yucca seeds you've sent have germinated but not all

Happy to report mine are FINALLY opening too

The green-stemmed ones are slower than the reddish ones.
Nothing as spectacular as Tim's though.

great looking blooms Barb! You can collect the pollen in Town and bring it back to your place to create some great hybrids! 😉

Thanks folks.
A big windstorm last night almost toppled 'em.

collect the pollen in Town

You're not going to believe this...

Went into town...forgot my camera, dammit.
Not a hint of a spike or flower on any of them!!!!! 😯

Wonder if someone cut the spike off?
Idiot.

This is mine, I hope, first successful hand pollination Y. filamentosa/flaccida x Y. filamentosa/flaccida 'Bright Edge'. Not much to expect but is good practice for future hybridization.
